Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) has raisedthe attention of industrial and academic researchers due to the fact thatit is seen as a technologyable to overcome the lack of available spectrum for new communication services.In particular, autonomic DSA (ADSA) systems are indicated as a solution to spectrumscarcity caused by the current “command and control” allocationparadigm. However, ADSA requires a higher...
Recently, the growing success of new wireless applications and services has led to overcrowded licensed bands, inducing the governmental regulatory agencies to consider more flexible strategies to improve the utilization of the radio spectrum. To this end, cognitive radio represents a promising technology since it allows to exploit the unused radio resources. In this context, the spectrum sensing...
In this paper, a comparison among different cooperative spectrum sensing approaches is provided. It is assumed that the secondary terminals autonomously perform local spectrum sensing and forward their decision to a fusion center. It combines the received data to obtain the global decision, i.e. the presence or the absence of the primary user in the monitored environment. In particular, three fusion...
In this paper two different cognitive radio architectures, i.e. stand-alone and distributed, are proposed for spectrum sensing purposes. In particular, both architectures implement a fast and reliable algorithm based on cyclic features extraction which allows to identify spectrum holes. The performances of such systems are compared in detecting primary users' presence in a monitored area classifying...
Sufficient conditions for well posedness and reliability of finite element approximations of time-harmonic electromagnetic problems involving bianisotropic materials are considered. Under these conditions, finite element simulators are known to be able to reliably approximate the solution of many radiation, scattering or guided wave problems of practical interest involving bianisotropic materials...
The growing number of new emerging wireless standards is creating regulatory problems in allocating the unlicensed frequencies. A possible solution for increasing the frequency re-usage within the framework of info-mobility cellular systems is the joint exploitation of Smart Antennas and Cognitive Radio. In the paper a Mode Identification algorithm, based on frequency distribution features and multiple...
