Cognitive radio (CR) technology has great potential to alleviate spectrum scarcity in wireless communications. It allows secondary users (SUs) to opportunistically access spectrum licensed by primary users (PUs) while protecting PU activity. The protection of the PUs is central to the adoption of this technology since no PU would accommodate SU access to its own detriment. In this paper, we consider...
This paper presents a fully integrated inductively powered implantable circuits for blood flow measurement, which are embedded within vascular prosthetic grafts for early detection of graft degradation or failure. The ASIC interfaces with micro-fabricated pressure sensors and uses a 13.56MHz carrier frequency for power transfer and command/data communication. A backscatter-modulated passive telemetry...
Cognitive radio improves spectrum efficiency by allowing secondary users (SU) to dynamically exploit the idle spectrum owned by primary users (PU). This paper studies optimal bandwidth allocation for SUs. Consider the following tradeoff: a SU increases its instantaneous throughput by accessing larger bands, but channel switching overhead (due to the dynamics of PU activities) and contention among...
