Current Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are deployed over unlicensed frequency bands that face an increased level of interference from various wireless systems. Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs) overcome this problem by allowing sensor nodes to access new spectrum bands to minimize interferences. In this paper, we focus on the MultiChannel Time Slot Assignment problem (MC-TSA) in CRSNs. Each...
We consider a scenario in which the secondary users opportunistic access the spectrum allocated to the primary user if the spectrum is sensed idle. In cognitive radio network, no matter what methods the secondary users use to sense, there are always missing detection and false alarm. Missing detection and false alarm probabilities characterize the protection to the primary user and the channel utilization...
IEEE 802.22 wireless regional area network (WRAN) is an emerging cognitive radio-based system. One of the major challenges for WRANs is how to efficiently schedule both channel sensing and data transmission for multiple adjacent WRAN cells. This challenge is known as coexistence problem. In this paper, we propose four schemes that aim at reducing the coexistence-problem effect. These schemes are based...
In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), regulatory bodies, such as the FCC, enforce an extremely demanding detectability requirement to protect primary users' communications, which can hardly be achieved with one-time sensing using only a single sensor. Most of the previous work focused on either cooperative sensing or sensing scheduling as a viable means to improve the detection performance without studying...
In this paper, we discuss the regulatory scenario for cognitive radio networks and give an overview of the emerging IEEE 802.22 standard, which is based on a dynamic spectrum access model, and provides new opportunities for wireless broadband access in rural area and remote communities. We discuss the main design challenges for the shared spectrum access model and describe how they are being addressed...
