Spectrum aggregation is an emerging technology to satisfy the data rate requirement of broadband services for next-generation wireless communication systems. In dynamic spectrum environment, in which the spectrum availability is time-varying, it is quite challenging to maintain the stability of spectrum aggregation. In this paper, we investigate the spectrum sensing and access schemes to minimize...
This paper investigates how to characterize the effect of multiple spectrum handoff delay on the extended data delivery time of the secondary users' connections in cognitive radio (CR) networks. Whenever a primary user appears, the spectrum handoff procedures are initiated for the interrupted secondary users. Through spectrum sensing, the secondary user can reactively decide the target channel for...
One of the most challenging issues in cognitive radio networks is when and how often to sense the availability of licensed spectrum. Adopting the fixed sensing period to detect signals, the conventional periodic spectrum sensing method is inefficient or even not able to satisfy the various demands of secondary users. In this paper, we propose a non-periodic sensing (NPS) mechanism, which reduces the...
In this paper, we discuss the spectrum management technologies including spectrum sensing, spectrum decision, spectrum sharing, and spectrum handoff schemes in cognitive radio (CR) networks. In order to evaluate performance of different spectrum management schemes, the preemptive resume priority (PRP) M/G/1 queuing model is suggested to characterize the spectrum usage behavior between the primary...
For the cognitive radio (CR) network, a fundamental issue is how to identify the spectrum opportunities. First, each CR node determines whether there exists transmission opportunities on unlicensed bands. If not, this node will find other opportunity on licensed bands. Thus, increasing the opportunities of concurrent transmissions in unlicensed bands can reduce the overhead of wide-band sensing. In...
