Abstract

Spectrum handoff is the process of exchanging progressing data transmission from the current channel to another idle channel. The essential goal of spectrum handoff in CR(Cognitive Radio) networks is to perform consistent data transmission while sustaining performance of ongoing transmission of secondary users. This handoff procedure can cause additional latency that eventually affects on the performance of CR transmission. Channel prediction method is expected to avoid the disruption to primary users and to reduce the handoff latency. In this paper, adaptive channel prediction is proposed to cope with time-varying channel and an adaptive channel prediction based proactive handoff procedure is designed to enhance data transmission performance.

인지 무선 네트워크에서 스펙트럼 핸드오프는 현재의 전송채널을 다른 유휴채널로 바꾸어 데이터를 전송하는 과정이다. 스펙트럼핸드오프의 목적은 부사용자에게 끊김 없는 데이터전송을 지원하여 지속적인 전송품질을 보장하기 위함이다. 그러나 이와 같은 핸드오프과정은 심각한 전송지연을 야기할 수 있다. 이때 채널 예측을 바탕으로 핸드오프를 실행할 경우 핸드오프에서 시간이 소요되는 부분을 미리 실행하므로 핸드오프 지연을 줄일 수 있고 주사용자에 대한 간섭도 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 통계적 특성이 변화하는 채널 상황에서 채널 예측을 정확성을 높이기 위한 적응적 채널 예측 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 적응적 채널 예측을 바탕으로 하여 핸드오프시점을 미리 추정하고 적절한 채널을 선택하여 핸드오프 과정을 설계하였다.
