Abstract—Cognitive radio (CR) technology enables the opportunistic use of the vacant licensed frequency bands, thereby improving the spectrum utilization. However, the CR operati...
—In this paper, we develop an opportunistic spectrum scheduling scheme for cognitive radio networks. In the proposed scheme, the channel status (i.e., whether being occupied by p...
—In cognitive radio (CR) networks, there are scenarios where the secondary (lower priority) users intend to communicate with each other by opportunistically utilizing the transmi...
Cognitive radio is an enabling technology that allows unlicensed users to opportunistically access the spectrum in order to enhance the spectrum efficiency. In this paper, we cons...
Wireless networks and devices have rapidly been gaining popularity over their wired counterparts. This popularity, in turn, has been generating an explosive and ever-increasing dem...
