— Cognitive Radio systems face an important challenge – fast and reliable channel searching to enable secondary users to optimize available spectral resources. We revisit conve...
In this paper, we propose an interference aware throughput maximizing scheduler for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) as part of a MAC layer resource allocation framework. In the con...
— We consider the problem of detecting a primary user signal over a wireless channel by a cognitive radio with multiple antennas. We present a multiple antenna processing based e...
—In this paper, we develop an opportunistic spectrum scheduling scheme for cognitive radio networks. In the proposed scheme, the channel status (i.e., whether being occupied by p...
— Spectrum handoff occurs when the primary users appear in the licensed band occupied by the secondary users. Spectrum handoff procedures aim to help the secondary users to vacat...
