Abstract

Ad-hoc networks can be used various environment, which it is difficult to construct infrastructures, such as shadowing areas, disaster areas, war area, and so on. In order to support to considerable and various wireless services, more spectrum resources are needed. However, efficient utilization of the frequency resource is difficult because of spectrum scarcity and the conventional frequency regulation. Ad-hoc networks employing cognitive radio(CR) system that guarantee high spectrum utilization provide effective way to increase the network capacity. In conventional CR based ad-hoc network, it uses constant threshold value to detect primary user signal, so the results become not reliable. In this paper, to solve this problem, we apply adaptive threshold value to the CR based ad-hoc network, and adaptive threshold is immediately changed by SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio). From the simulation results, we confirmed that proposed algorithm has the greatly better detection probabilities than conventional CR based ad-hoc network.

Ad-hoc 네트워크는 음영 지역, 재난 지역, 전쟁 시와 같은 통신 인프라가 구축되기 어려운 상황에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 음성 및 데이터 서비스 등과 같은 무선 서비스의 제공을 위해 많은 양의 네트워크 용량이 필요하게 되지만, 기존의 제한된 주파수 자원에 따른 주파수 부족 상황 및 주파수 자원 정책의 규제에 따라 원활한 주파수 사용이 어려운 상황이다. 이에 따라 높은 주파수 활용을 제공하는 인지 무선 시스템을 ad-hoc 네트워크에 적용하여 보다 다양하고 확장된 네트워크 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 하지만 기존 스펙트럼 센싱에 있어 임계치가 정적으로 작용하므로 detection probability가 낮게 검출되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 점을 보완하여 신호들의 detection probability를 향상시키기 위해 adaptive threshold를 이용할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 동적인 임계치를 이용하여 수신 신호의 power에 따라 임계치가 변화하여 신호들의 detection probability를 향상시키는 센싱 성능을 보여 준다.
