Cognitive radio networks that allow dynamic spectrum access are considered spectrally more efficient than networks using fixed spectral allocation. These networks are characterize...
Abstract—WiMAX with femto cells is a cost-effective nextgeneration broadband wireless communication system. Cognitive Radio (CR) has recently emerged as a promising technology to...
Abstract— Spectrum-agile radios, also known as cognitive radios, have a great potential to improve spectrum utilization by enabling dynamic access to the spectrum. A key challeng...
We propose the cross-layer based opportunistic multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocols, which integrate the spectrum sensing at physical (PHY) layer with the packet sch...
Wireless communications over water may suffer from serious multipath fading due to strong specular reflections from conducting water surfaces. Cognitive radios enable dynamic spect...
