Cognitive radios are typically known to exploit vacant spectrum resources in order not to interfere with primary communication systems. However, cognitive radios may not be able to secure a clear spectrum band in a bustling spectrum band. Underlay spectrum sharing provides a way to cope with such a spectrum sharing problem. Cognitive radios share the same spectrum band with the spectrum licensees, i.e., primary users, by adjusting signal transmission power so as not to severely deteriorate the performance of the primary users. We propose an underlay spectrum sharing policy leveraging uplink spectrum resource to be used in a cellular network. A pair of end terminals attempts to establish a direct point-to-point link, and perform as cognitive radios in the sense that they share the uplink radio resource of other primary users. We formulate the transmit power constraints of the cognitive radios and propose a practical uplink band sharing framework. Our simulation results demonstrate that such an uplink sharing underlay direct link can enhance the throughput performance of point-to-point link with low overhead.

In this paper we propose an improved hierarchical routing protocol for wireless hybrid mesh network. The proposed method efficiently manages network topology and reduces overhead traffic for setting routing path by considering link stability. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the HOLSR (hierarchical optimized link state routing) method in aggregate goodput, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay.

In this paper, we propose a reinforce learning based on cooperative sensing scheme to select optimal secondary users(SUs) to enhance the detection performance of spectrum sensing in Cognitive radio(CR) networks. The SU with high accuracy is identified based on the similarity between the global sensing result obtained through cooperative sensing and the local sensing result of the SU. A fusion center(FC) uses similarity of SUs as reward value for Q-learning to determine SUs which participate in cooperative sensing with accurate sensing results. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the detection performance compared to conventional cooperative sensing schemes.

In this paper, we propose a design method to extend certain cognitive radio (CR) MAC protocols originally proposed only for the one hop applications in distributed CR networks to MANET routing protocols. Among several CR MAC protocols, the opportunistic MAC (called O-MAC) and the opportunistic period MAC (called OP-MAC) are considered, and AODV as MANET routing protocol is used. We implement the protocols using OPNET network simulator, and compare the performances in both MAC and AODV routing environments. With the experiments, we analyze the relationship between MAC and routing performances of the CR protocols.

With the rapid increase of energy consumption and environmental problems, the need for green techniques is increasing. Network coding can provide a solution by reducing unnecessary data transmission and by estimating traffic patterns. In addition, it can amplify the synergy with the cognitive radio network (CR) since the CR has recognition and optimal decision functionalities. In this paper, we propose a network coding based green cognitive radio network. With the simulations, we show that the proposed scheme is up to 25% better than the previous work.

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID)시스템은 객체에 부착된 RFID 태그를 리더로 읽어 들여 정확하게 객체를 인식할 수 있어 상황 인지를 위한 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 태그와 리더간의 통신이 단일 홉으로 구성되어 있기 때문에 대상 지역의 전체를 인식하지 못하여, 상황인지를 위한 총체적 정보를 제공할 수 없는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 제안되고 있는 무선 센서 네트워크와 RFID 시스템의 결함을 통하여 RFID시스템이 대상 지역 전체를 인식할 수 있게 하고, 이 정보를 센서 네트워크의 센싱 정보와 함께 활용하여 지능적인 상황 인지가 가능한 RFID 기반 우선 센서네트워크의 지능적 상황 인지 지원 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템에서는 RFID 시스템의 객체 인지 능력을 활용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, RFID 시스템에 네트워킹 기능을 제공하여 지능적 상황인지를 가능하게 한다.

Cognitive Radio Ad-Hoc Networks (CRAHNs) enable to overcome the shortage of frequency resources due to the increase of radio services. In order to avoid interference with the primary user in CRANH, channel sensing to check the idle channel is required, and when the primary user appears, the time delay due to handover should be minimized through fast idle channel selection. In this paper, throughput was improved by reducing the number of channel sensing and preferentially sensing a channel with a high probability of being idle, using reinforcement learning. In addition, we proposed a multi-channel MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol that can minimize the possibility of collision with the primary user by sensing the channel at the time of data transmission without performing periodic sensing. The performance was compared and analyzed through computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant QoS routing scheme based on interference awareness for providing both high throughput and minimum end-to-end delay for wireless sensor networks. With the proposed algorithm, it is feasible to find out the optimal transmission path between sensor nodes to the sink node by using cumulative path metric where real-time delivery, high energy efficiency and less interference are considered as in path selection. Finally, simulation results show that network throughput and delay can be improved by using the proposed routing scheme.

본 논문에서는 IoS (Internet of Signage) 환경에서 실감형 데이터 전송을 위한 상황 인지 기반 적응형 전송기법을 적용하고 이를 분석한다. 사이니지 네트워크 환경에서는 임의적인 다중 경로 페이딩, 간섭 등과 같은 왜곡 요소가 존재할 수 있기 때문에 이를 대처하기 위해 무선 송신기에서는 채널 환경에 대한 인지 이후, 그에 따른 MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme)를 선정 및 안테나 기법을 선정한다. MCS 및 안테나 기법 선정을 위해 무선 송신기에서는 사전에 알고 있는 통계적인 SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) 값을 통해 문턱값을 계산하고, 수신 사이니지로부터 얻은 CSI (Channel State Information)와의 크기 비교를 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서는 상황 인지를 기반으로 매 순간 최적의 전송률을 달성할 수 있음을 볼 수 있다.

본 논문은 무선 인지 네트워크에서 에너지 하베스팅을 하는 다수의 단말이 하나의 중계기를 사용하여 양방향 통신을 하는 시스템을 다룬다. 한 신호 전송 프레임은 에너지 하베스팅 단계와 신호 전송 단계로 이루어 진다. 에너지 하베스팅 단계에서 각 단말은 일차 사용자의 송신기에서 보내는 무선 에너지 신호를 이용하여 신호 전송에 필요한 에너지를 저장한다. 신호 전송 단계에서 중계기는 처리량이 가장 높은 하나의 유저 쌍을 선택하며, 선택된 유저는 중계기를 통하여 세 단계를 거쳐 정보를 교환한다. 이 때 각 단말에서의 불능 확률을 1) 중계기에서의 전송 전력이 변화할 때, 2) 단말 수가 변화할 때로 나누어 시뮬레이션 하고, 결과를 분석한다.
