In this paper we present the spectrum sensing performance for detecting the IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi terminals for ultrawideband (UWB) based cognitive radio (CR) systems. The 802.11 n WiFi system lies in the 5 GHz un-licensed frequency band and is subjected to interferences from the UWB transmissions. The UWB based CR terminals perform secondary communications by opportunistically utilizing the available...
Most critical component of the cognitive radio paradigm is spectrum sensing and accordingly, detection of primary users. Recently proposed cooperative spectrum sensing methods do not consider errors occurring during the transmission of local cognitive radio decisions to the cognitive base station. However, perfect communication is clearly not the case in realistic cooperative spectrum sensing scenarios...
In this paper we present a time divisional and a time-frequency divisional cooperative spectrum sensing technique suitable for cognitive radio (CR) networks. The two methods are well suited for very high bandwidth CR networks, such as UWB networks, where the individual nodes need to scan a wide range of spectrum which is a time consuming process. With the time divisional and the time-frequency divisional...
Cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks is recently being studied to simultaneously minimize uncertainty in primary user detection and solve hidden terminal problem. Sensing wideband spectrum is another challenging task for a single cognitive radio due to large sensing time required. In this paper, we introduce a technique to tackle both wideband and cooperative spectrum sensing...
In this paper we consider cooperative localization and tracking of primary users (PU) in a cognitive radio network using Bayesian techniques. We use particle filtering methods to track the location of a PU in the network using cooperative localization techniques and present some results for noisy measurements. The cognitive radio (CR) nodes estimate the information related to the geographical position...
Cognitive radio has emerged as an innovative approach able to cope with the spectral limitations. Cognitive radio networks rely on detecting whether a particular segment of the radio spectrum is currently in use and to exploit the temporarily unused spectrum rapidly without interfering with the transmissions of other users. Thus, one of the most important and critical components of the cognitive radio...
In this paper we will discuss the research activity in Cognitive Radio (CR) for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems within the FP7 European Project EUWB. We cover the issues related to the interference and coexistence between narrowband (NB) and UWB communication systems in a realistic scenario. We show the great potential of the UWB technology in adapting the transmitted spectrum to counteract NB interference...
