—Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) have recently emerged as a promising technology to improve spectrum utilization by allowing secondary users to dynamically access idle primary ch...
Abstract—Temporal Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) in Cognitive Radio Networks exploits time gaps between the primary users transmissions. In this work, the fundamental performance ...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are envisaged to extend Internet access and other networking services in personal, local, campus, and metropolitan areas. Mesh routers (MR) form the c...
Cognitive radio networks that allow dynamic spectrum access are considered spectrally more efficient than networks using fixed spectral allocation. These networks are characterize...
Abstract—In this paper two different cognitive radio architectures, i.e. stand-alone and distributed, are proposed for spectrum sensing purposes. In particular, both architecture...
