Abstract--Radio spectrum resource is of fundamental importance for wireless communication. Recent reports show that most available spectrum has been allocated. While some of the sp...
Abstract—We consider a cognitive radio network where multiple secondary users (SUs) contend for spectrum usage, using random access, over available primary user (PU) channels. Ou...
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...
Abstract--In this paper we consider the capacity of the cognitive radio (CR) channel in a fading environment under a "low interference regime". This capacity depends crit...
—In this paper, quality of service (QoS) provisioning for voice service over cognitive radio networks is considered. As voice traffic is sensitive to delay, the presence of prim...
