—Spectrum access is an important function of cognitive radios for detecting and utilizing spectrum holes without harming the legacy systems. In this paper, we propose novel coope...
Spectrum sensing is the key enabling technology for cognitive radio networks. The main objective of spectrum sensing is to provide more spectrum access opportunities to cognitive r...
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...
In cognitive radio networks, each cognitive transmission process typically requires two phases: the spectrum sensing phase and data transmission phase. In this paper, we investiga...
—The key idea of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks is to allow the secondary, unlicensed users to detect and use unused portions of the spectrum (white spaces) opportunistic...
