Next generation wireless networks will be heterogeneous, where several primary users (PU e.g. licensed users) and secondary users (SU e.g. unlicensed users) can operate in the same dynamic and reconfigurable networks at a given time. The major challenge in this heterogeneous radio environment is to enable the coexistence between PU and SU which will further improve the efficient use of radio spectrum...
In cognitive radio networks, secondary users conduct local sensing to use underutilized spectrum bands. However, every secondary user's local sensing usually gives rise to much sensing overhead. Moreover, a globally synchronized quiet period cannot be determined in a decentralized network. In this paper, we propose a zone-based distributed sensing scheme, in which multiple secondary users alternate...
Interference is a crucial factor that impacts the overall throughput performance of IEEE 802.11-based wireless networks. As such, understanding interference characteristics is essential towards the optimal management and operation of these networks. In this paper, we use a conducted testbed (that allows us to completely control the signal propagation and received signal strength) to systematically...
