In this paper, we introduce a joint flow control and scheduling algorithm for multi-hop cognitive radio networks with spectrum underlay. Our proposed algorithm maximizes the total utility of secondary users while stabilizing the cognitive radio network and still satisfies the total interference from secondary users to primary network is less than an accepted level. Based on Lyapunov optimization technique, we show that our scheme is arbitrarily close to the optimal.

비능률적인 스펙트럼 이용률과 제한적인 스펙트럼 밴드 사용의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, Cognitive Radio가 중요한 솔루션으로써 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 채널 무선 네트워크에서의 QoS 보장을 위하여 Cognitive Radio 기반의 동적인 스펙트럼 할당 (Dynamic Spectrum Allocation)을 이용한 새로운 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 사용자의 요청에 따라서, 유동적인 스펙트럼은 DSA 메커니즘을 통한 QoS 보장을 위하여 할당 된다. 그리고 동적인 스펙트럼 할당 (DSA)은 컨트롤 채널의 FRQ/FRP/ACK-hello와 데이터 채널의 DATA/ACK에 의하여 동작한다. 스펙트럼 공유의 성능을 증가시키기 위한 협력 검출 (Cooperative Detection)을 위하여, MAC 프로토콜에서는 Hello 메시지가 주기적으로 교환된다. 추가적으로, 성능 평가를 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 DSA-MAC이 IEEE 802.11 MAC에 비하여 높은 데이터 처리량을 보임을 증명했다.

Spectrum sensing is a key component of cognitive radio. The prediction of the primary user status in a low signal-to-noise ratio is an important factor in spectrum sensing. However, because of noise uncertainty, secondary users have difficulty distinguishing between the primary signal and an unauthorized signal when an unauthorized user exists in a cognitive radio network. To resolve the sensitivity to the noise uncertainty problem, we propose an entropy-based spectrum sensing scheme to detect the primary signal accurately in the presence of an unauthorized signal. The proposed spectrum sensing uses the conditional entropy between the primary signal and the unauthorized signal. The ability to detect the primary signal is thus robust against noise uncertainty, which leads to superior sensing performance in a low signal-to-noise ratio. Simulation results show that the proposed spectrum sensing scheme outperforms the conventional entropy-based spectrum sensing schemes in terms of the primary user detection probability.

We propose a distributed medium access control protocol for cognitive radio networks to opportunistically utilize multiple channels. Under the proposed protocol, cognitive radio nodes forecast and rank channel availability observing primary users' activities on the channels for a period of time by time series analyzing using smoothing models for seasonal data by Winters' method. The proposed approach protects primary users, mitigates channel access delay, and increases network performance. We analyze the optimal time to sense channels to avoid conflict with the primary users. We simulate and compare the proposed protocol with the existing protocol. The results show that the proposed approach utilizes channels more efficiently.

Dynamically exploiting unused-spectrum, cognitive radio has been proposed to solve spectrum utilization problem. In cognitive radio, it is important to minimize the interference to primary service as well as to provide efficient channel allocation. In this paper, we propose a multi-channel allocation scheme based on spectrum hole prediction. Proposed scheme considered both interference length and channel capacity to limit the interference to primary user as well as to enhance system performance. Simulation results show the proposed scheme improves the system throughput.

Cognitive Radio is an advanced enabling techlology for efficient utilization of under-utilized spectrum since it is able to sense the temporally available spectrum and adapt its parameters to fully utilize the frequency band. Recent investigation suggests that spectrum sensing is compromised when a cognitive radio user suffers from the environment with fading or shadowing. In order to combat the effect, collaborative sensing is considered to be a promising way, which combines the sensing result of each user to achieve good performance. However, the conventional collaborative sensing is not efficient when users suffer different fading environments. In this paper, we propose a weighted-collaborative scheme that considers using the weights of each collaborative CR user, which can achieve better sensing performance under both fast and slow fading environments. The analysis of the simulation resultsproves that the weighted-collaborative scheme improves sensing performance obviously and outperforms the conventional method.

Cognitive radio is a paradigm for wireless communication in which either network of wireless node itself changes particular transmission or reception parameters to execute its tasks efficiently without interfering with the licensed users. This paper represents a performance of the cognitive radio technology on dual polarized MIMO system using six-port receiver. Six-port technology is well known direct conversion receiver. In this paper, a six-port phase discriminator based polarization signal separation is shown. That is, the SER(Symbol Error Rate) performance is improved using polarization separator and simple receiver architecture is proposed applying six-port receiver. The six-port technology has priority to adapt changeable frequency system and variable environments for cognitive radio. In general, dual polarized MIMO system has good capacity and quality using polarization separator [1].

Cooperative spectrum sensing increases the detection performance in a cognitive radio network, based on the number of sensing nodes. However, as the number of sensing nodes increases, the reporting overhead linearly increases. This paper proposes two kinds of cooperative spectrum sensing with limited reporting in a centralized cognitive radio network, a soft combination with threshold-based reporting (SC-TR) and a soft combination with contention-based reporting (SC-CR). In the proposed SC-TR scheme, each sensing node reports its sensing result to the fusion center through its own reporting channel only if the observed energy value is higher than a decision threshold. In the proposed SC-CR scheme, sensing nodes compete to report their sensing results via shared reporting channels. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes significantly reduce the reporting overhead without sacrificing the detection performance too much.

This paper considers a wideband cognitive radio network (WCRN) which can simultaneously sense multiple narrowband channels and thus aggregate the detected available channels for transmission and studies the ergodic throughput of the WCRN that operated under: the wideband sensing-based spectrum sharing (WSSS) scheme and the wideband opportunistic spectrum access (WOSA) scheme. In our analysis, besides the average interference power constraint at PU, the average transmit power constraint of SU is also considered for the two schemes and a novel cognitive radio sensing frame that allows data transmission and spectrum sensing at the same time is utilized, and then the maximization throughput problem is solved by developing a gradient projection method. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the performance of the two proposed schemes.
