We propose a novel Licensed Shared Access (LSA) spectrum allocation framework in this paper. The spectrum is made available to the licensee mobile network operators (MNOs) at specific time instants, in a specific service area, and for a specific time period. We propose a spectrum allocation algorithm which aims at providing resources to the MNOs in such a way that they can utilize them to serve their...
Temporal sharing has been suggested in the literature as a promising approach to tackle the inefficiencies that result from the use of Geolocation Database (GL-DB) access technology, by enabling the Secondary Users (SUs) to operate inside radar systems' exclusion zones, whenever the radar antennas are pointing away. While several studies have been made to quantify the number of spectrum opportunities...
Opportunistic access has been considered by regulators for a number of different spectrum bands. In this paper, we discuss and qualitatively evaluate techniques used in the discovery of spectrum opportunities, also called white spaces, in the radar, TV, and cellular bands. These techniques include spectrum sensing, cooperative spectrum sensing, geolocation databases, and the use of beacons. We make...
In this paper, a general overview of Self-Organizing Networks (SON), and the rationale and state-of-the-art of wireless SON are first presented. The technical and business requirements are then briefly treated, and the research challenges within the field of SON are highlighted. Thereafter, the relation between SON and Cognitive Networks (CN) is covered. At last, the application of Algorithmic Information...
Spectrum sensing, the cornerstone of the Cognitive Radio paradigm, has been the focus of intensive research, from which the main conclusion was that its performance can be greatly enhanced through the use of cooperative sensing schemes. In this paper we analyze the performance of a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme, by measuring the perceived capacity limits introduced by the use of data fusion...
Disaster relief networks need to be highly adaptable and resilient in order to encompass the emergency service demands. Cognitive Radio enhanced ad-hoc architecture have been put forward as candidate to enable such networks. Spectrum sensing, the cornerstone of the Cognitive Radio paradigm, has been the target of intensive research, of which the main common conclusion was that the achievable spectrum...
