Cognitive Radio Networks have changed the communication paradigm by opportunistically using available spectrum. In such networks, Secondary User vacates the channel when it detects the Primary User. The frequent channel switching degrades the throughput of Cognitive Radio Networks. Current schemes suggest only the selection of Primary Channel if there is not any licensed user available. We propose...
The paper introduces proactive integrated handoff management (IHM) scheme in cognitive radio mobile ad hoc networks (CR-MANETs) through an established route. This scheme considers the primary user (PU) activity, secondary user (SU) mobility and channel heterogeneity in the spectrum handoff decision. To reduce the handoff delay, handoff thresholds are used. When the spectrum handoff cannot be done...
This paper presents a study of mobile wireless LAN (WLAN) hotspots which are used to provide cellular-WiFi tethering service to personal devices. A dense deployment scenario for fixed and mobile WLAN is described and potential performance problems due to interference are identified. An analytical model for coexisting fixed and mobile WLAN hotspots with heterogeneous traffic is presented. The model...
Local area deployments in general and femtocells in particular have proved to be an effective solution for providing ubiquitous coverage in a cost-efficient manner, satisfying the high data rate and QoS requirements for LTE-Advanced systems. In this paper, we investigate inter-cell interference management schemes for dense local area deployments. We propose a distributed capacity based channel allocation...
OFDMA (Orthogonal frequency division multiple access) based systems have been considered as a candidate for future wireless communication systems. In such a system, it is important to provide high data rate services for users with high mobility. For this purpose, decision-directed channel tracking (DDCT) techniques have been investigated for OFDM systems in high mobility environments. The performance...
Researches about multi-radio mesh networks have mostly focused on channel allocation under internal interference. However, the deployment of WMNs in unlicensed bands of dense urban areas imposes many challenges regarding co-existence with residential access points. In this paper, we propose Urban-X, which is a first attempt towards a new architecture for MultiRadio Cognitive Mesh Networks. We develop...
The network planning aims to allow the maximum number of users and throughput in a network. This imposes a demanding performance requirement on the new relay-based architecture for mobile WiMAX, in which the capacity estimation is complex. In the network design process, where interference avoidance plays an important role, WiMAX supports reconfiguration of the subchannel usage with some frequency...
Dense deployments of hybrid WLANs result in high levels of interference and low end-user throughput. Many frequency allocation mechanisms for WLANs have been proposed by a large body of previous studies. However, none of these mechanisms considers the load that is carried by APs in terms of channel conditions, number of affiliated users as well as traffic-load, in conjunction. In this paper, we propose...
