In this paper, we analyze the average drop time of packets in a distributed cognitive radio network using differential evolution (DE) algorithm. For sharing sensing information, SUs access common control channel using carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance protocol. Packet drop time is calculated using markov model analysis of the behavior of a SU. The packet drop time is then optimized...
