In cognitive radio networks, acquiring the position information of the primary user is critical to the communication of the secondary user. Localization of primary users can help improve the efficiency with which the spectrum is reused, because the information can be used to avoid harmful interference to the network while simultaneity is exploited to improve the spectrum utilization. Despite its inherent inaccuracy, received signal strength based on range has been used as the standard tool for distance measurements in the location detection process. Most previous works have employed the path-loss propagation model with a fixed value of the path loss exponent. However, in actual environments, the path loss exponent for each channel is different. Moreover, due to the complexity of the radio channel, when the number of channel increases, a larger number of RSS measurements are needed, and this results in additional energy consumption. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose using the Bayesian compressive sensing method with a calibrated path loss exponent to improve the performance of the PU localization method.

비동기 W-CDMA 시스템에서의 초기 셀 탐색 과정은 일반적으로 슬롯 동기 획득, 프레임 동기 획득, 그리고 프라이머리 스크램블링 코드 획득의 3단계로 수행되며, 본 논문에서는 이 중 두 번째 단계인 프레임 동기 획득과정을 고려한다. 프레임 동기 획득 시 P-SCH (primary synchronization channel)로부터 채널을 추정하여 사용하는 방식을 coherent 검출 방식이라 하며, 본 논문에서는 기존의 coherent 검출 방식의 성능 개선을 위해 P-SCH로부터 추정된 채널 값에 1차 순환 필터(first order recursive filter)를 사용하는 간단한 형태의 검출 방식을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방식이 기존 방식틀에 비해 주파수 오차 범위가 넓은 환경에서 프레임 동기 검출 성능이 우수함을 보이고자 한다.

In this paper, the optimal power allocation algorithm that minimizes the aggregate bit error rate (BER) of the secondary user (SU) in a downlink orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based cognitive radio (CR) system, while subjecting to the interference power constraint and the transmit power constraint, is investigated under the assumption that the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) of the interference links between the secondary transmitter and the primary receiver, and between the primary transmitter and the secondary receiver is perfectly known. Besides, a suboptimal algorithm with less complexity is also proposed. In order to deal with more practical situations, we further assume that only the channel distribution information (CDI) of the interference links is available and propose heuristic power allocation algorithms based on bisection search method to minimize the aggregate BER under the interference outage constraint and the transmit power constraint. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

A new global routing algorithm which dynamically adjusts its cost parameters depending on the given routing poroblem to find a near optimum solution has been developed. The proposed algorithm efficiently performs global routing on general area in which all the pin positions are given. This algorithm is composed of two phases`In the first phase, it routes each net by searching a minimum cost path while ignoring the channel capacity. In the second iterative phase, it rips up nets which pass the channel at which the horizontal or vertical routing density exceeds the capacity and then it reroutes them using a modified set of cost parameters. Applying the above phases, paths for nets are found such that routing density doesn't exceed the capacity in each channel and that nets are routed with minimum cost. Experimental results for several benchmark examples including difficult-4, difficult-8, difficult-16, Primary1 and Primary2 show that our method generates better results than other published ones.

The problem of optimal channel sensing in heterogeneous cognitive networks is considered to maximize the system throughput performance. The characteristics of an optimal operating sensing point maximizing the overall system rate are investigated under several rate criteria including the sum rate, the minimum of the primary and secondary rates, and the secondary rate with a guaranteed primary rate. Under the sum rate criterion, it is shown that the loss by imperfect sensing is no greater than half of the sum rate achieved by the perfect time sharing approach in a two user case if the sensing point is optimally designed.

본 연구에서는 사행수로에서 주 흐름과 이차류의 특성을 정량적으로 분석하고자 중심각이 $150^{\circ}$이고 사행도 1.52인 S자형 사행수로에서 실험을 수행하였다. 평균수심과 유량을 달리하여 다양한 실험 조건 하에서 수행한 실험을 통해 다중 만곡부를 갖는 사행수로에서 이차류의 공간적 변화양상을 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 주 흐름은 실험조건에 관계없이 직선구간에서 좌우 대칭적인 유속분포를 보였고, 만곡부에서는 내안쪽에 최대유속이 발생하고 외안쪽에 최소유속이 발생하는 현상을 발견 할 수 있었다. 이렇게 주 흐름이 최단노선을 따라 발생하는 현상은 기존 연구자들의 결과와 일치하는 것이다. 이차류의 거동은 첫번째 만곡부보다 두 번째 만곡부에서 더욱 활발하게 발달하고 외안 회전류가 뚜렷히 나타남을 발견하였다. 이차류의 강도는 직선구간에서는 낮게 나타나고 만곡부에서는 증가하는 주기적인 현상을 보였으며, 만곡부의 이차류 강도가 직선구간보다 2~3배 크게 나타났다. 또한, 두 번째 만곡부에서 이차류 강도의 최대값이 발생했다. 주 흐름방향의 난류 강도와 Reynolds 전단응력을 분석한 결과, 주 흐름 난류 강도는 주 흐름의 유속편차가 클수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났고 Reynolds 전단응력은 주 흐름방향 유속의 편차가 크게 벌어지는 동시에 이차류가 활발히 생성되는 지점에서 크게 나타나는 경향을 보였다.

Cognitive radio (CR) MAC protocol provides access control of unused spectrum resources without causing interference to primary users. To achieve this goal, in this paper a TDMA based cooperative multi-channel cognitive radio MAC (MCR-MAC) protocol is proposed for wireless ad hoc networks to provide reliable protection for primary users by achieving cooperative detection of incumbent system signals around the communication pair. Each CR node maintains transmission opportunity schedules and a list of available channels that is employed in the neighbor discovery period. To avoid possible signal collision between incumbent systems and cognitive radio ad hoc users, we propose a simple but efficient emergency notification message exchanging mechanism between neighbor CR nodes with little overhead. Our simulation results show that the proposed MCR-MAC can greatly reduce interference with primary users and remarkably improve the network throughput.

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.

Cognitive Radio(CR) is the technology that allocates the frequency by using dynamic spectrum access. We proposed a model to calculate the optimal level of the cognitive radiotelegraph, where secondary users opportunistically share the spectrum with primary users through the spectrum sensing. When secondary user with cognitive radio detects the arrival of a primary user in its current channel, the secondary user moves to the idle channel or be placed in the virtual queue. We assume that the primary users have finite buffers and the population of secondary users is finite. Using a two-dimensional Makov model with preemptive priority queueing, we could derive the blocking and waiting probability as well as the optimal level of cognitive radiotelegraph under a various range of parameter circumstances.

In order to meet various requirements for transmission quality of both primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) in cognitive radio networks, we introduce a channel bonding mechanism for PUs and a channel reservation mechanism for SUs, then we propose a novel spectrum allocation strategy. Taking into account the mistake detection and false alarm due to imperfect channel sensing, we establish a three-dimensional Markov chain to model the stochastic process of the proposed strategy. Using the method of matrix geometric solution, we derive the performance measures in terms of interference rate of PU packets, average delay and throughput of SU packets. Moreover, we investigate the influence of the number of the reserved (resp. licensed) channels on the system performance with numerical experiments. Finally, to optimize the proposed strategy socially, we provide a charging policy for SU packets.
