Abstract—In decentralized cognitive radio (CR) networks, enabling the radios to establish a control channel (i.e., “rendezvous” to establish a link) is a challenging problem....
To improve spectrum efficiency, future wireless devices will use cognitive radios to dynamically access spectrum. While offering great flexibility and softwarereconfigurability...

— 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...
In a cognitive radio network, the full-spectrum is usually divided into multiple channels. However, due to the hardware and energy constraints, a cognitive user (also called second...
Abstract-- In this paper, we consider the problem of optimal control for throughput utility maximization in cognitive radio networks with dynamic user arrivals and departures. The ...
