—The opening of under-utilized spectrum creates the opportunity of substantial performance improvement through cognitive radio techniques. However, the real network performance m...
Abstract—In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), detecting smallscale primary devices—such as wireless microphones (WMs)— is a challenging, but very important, problem that has n...
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 consider the channel selection problem in a cognitive radio network with heterogenous channel availabilities at different nodes. We formulate the maximum channel selection (MCS)...
Abstract--Cognitive radios (CRs) are devices that access spectrum opportunistically taking advantage of unused portions of licensed spectrum. Therefore, depending on the licensed r...
