—In cognitive radio (CR) networks, there are scenarios where the secondary (lower priority) users intend to communicate with each other by opportunistically utilizing the transmi...
—We consider a wireless cognitive radio network in which a set of secondary users (SUs) opportunistically utilize the wireless spectrum licensed to the primary users (PUs) to tra...
The cognitive radio (CR) paradigm calls for open spectrum access according to a predetermined etiquette. Under this paradigm, CR nodes access the spectrum opportunistically by cont...
Abstract—Cognitive Radio Networks aim at enhancing spectrum utilization by allowing cognitive devices to opportunistically access vast portions of the spectrum. To reach such amb...
Today's wireless networks are characterized by a fixed spectrum assignment policy. However, a large portion of the assigned spectrum is used sporadically and geographical var...
