In this paper, we study the problem of mutual interference cancellation among secondary users (SUs) and interference control to primary users (PUs) in spectrum sharing underlay cognitive radio networks (CRNs). Multiple antennas are used at the secondary base station (SBS) to form multiple beams towards to individual SUs, and a set of SUs are selected to adapt to the beams. For the interference control...
In conventional WLANs, stations (STAs) select access points (APs) using the existing scheme based on the current quality of links. However, some novel improved architecture of WLANs is proposed with cognitive radio (CR) to negotiate spectrum usage, where the existing AP selection scheme might not be suitable for it. Thus in this paper, a new optimal AP Selection based on Restless Bandits (APSRB) scheme...
In this paper, we propose a distributed best-relay node selection scheme to maximize the achievable data rate for cooperative communications over underlay-paradigm based CR networks, and meanwhile guarantee that the primary link is provided with a minimum-rate for a certain percentage of time. Specifically, we formulate the CR relay network as a restless bandit system, where the finite-state Markov...
Most previous work in CR relay networks concentrates on maximizing physical layer QoS (e.g., capacity, spectral efficiency and achievable data rate) as relay selection criteria. However, the energy state of relay nodes is largely ignored, which has significant effects on the network lifetime. This paper proposes a distributed relay selection scheme for cooperative transmissions over underlay CR networks,...
Large-scale multi-AP WMAPNs with a high density of users and access points (APs) have emerged widely in various hotspots, where inter-cell interference is detrimental to the performance of WLANs. In order to mitigate the interference, channel assignment scheme has been a major research topic in recent years. In this paper, based on Bianchi's throughput performance evaluation, we model a channel assignment...
Development of fair and efficient algorithms for resource allocation to secondary users (SUs) is one of the key issues in the design of cognitive radio (CR) systems. In this paper, we present a two-step resource allocation solution for multiuser based CR systems employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The solution allocates the subcarriers to SUs in the first step, considering...
Cognitive radio (CR) employing OFDM has drawn many interests in designing efficient radio resource allocation schemes. Most of the existing works considered the cognitive scenario under perfect knowledge of system state, such as channel state information (CSI) and sensing information (SI). However, it is serious to properly regulate the interference caused by secondary users (SUs) to each primary...
In cognitive radio networks (CRN), underlay spectrum sharing allows secondary users (SUs) to utilize the spectrum on which the primary users (PUs) in primary radio networks (PRN) are working at the same time, without introducing intolerant interferences. In this paper, we study the joint transmission power and time allocation in CRN with underlay spectrum sharing technology. To maximize the total...
