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...
Effective spectrum sensing is a critical prerequisite for multi-channel cognitive radio (CR) networks, where multiple spectrum bands are sensed to identify transmission opportuniti...
There are many key problems of decision making related to spectrum occupancies in cognitive radio networks. It is known that there exist correlations of spectrum occupancies in tim...
In cognitive radio networks, secondary user (SU) does not have rights to transmit when the primary user (PU) band is occupied, that's why a sensing technique must be done. Rec...

We propose an opportunistic channel access scheme for cognitive radio-enabled secondary networks. In our work, we model the channel occupancy due to Primary User (PU) activity as a...
