Due to the dynamic nature of cognitive radio networks, multi-user video streaming (with various video traffic characteristics and QoS requirements) requires efficient dynamic chan...
— In order to maintain a conflict-free environment among licensed primary users (PUs) and unlicensed secondary users (SUs) in cognitive radio networks, providing frequency and g...
Cognitive radio (CR) techniques improve the spectrum utilization by exploiting temporarily-free frequency bands (i.e., in the time domain). The spectrum utilization can be boosted...
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...
Cognitive radio gives users the ability to switch channels and make use of dynamic spectral opportunities. However, switching channels takes time, and may disrupt the quality of a...
