In battery-powered Cognitive Machine-to-Machine Communications (CM2M), the energy consumption, opportunistic data access capacity and interference to the licensed system need to be optimized simultaneously. We consider this as joint cooperative spectrum sensing and power allocation, and model this as a constraint multiobjective optimization problem of three objectives. Our model helps to find a Pareto...
In a sensor-aided cognitive radio network, collaborating battery-powered sensors are deployed to aid the network in cooperative spectrum sensing. These sensors consume energy for spectrum sensing and therefore deplete their life-time, thus we study the key issue in minimizing the sensing energy consumed by such group of collaborating sensors. The IEEE P802.22 standard specifies spectrum sensing accuracy...
OFDMA will be the major transmission technology in the future mobile wireless broadband systems, and is already used in Mobile WiMAX and LTE. In this paper, we use simulations to characterize the spectrum usage of such primary systems. This knowledge is useful for cognitive radio and other technologies for dynamic spectrum access that aim at improving the overall spectrum usage. We calculate the available...
An increasing number of research efforts on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are now considering dynamic environments with heterogeneous sensor devices. Most of this research considers data, control, and management issues separately and not clearly within a common architecture. This paper presents our development of an architecture, namely DCM-Arch, to address these issues together. The architectureconsists...
In a cognitive radio wireless network, each node can sense and opportunistically access the under-utilized spectrums in the primary system. Since the unoccupied spectrum is location-dependent and time-dependent, the available spectrums in each node are different. With this spectrum heterogeneity and different Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirement, different nodes may have different preferences in using...
