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...
—The primary function of a cognitive radio is to detect idle frequencies or sub-bands, not used by the primary users (PUs), and allocate these frequencies to secondary users. The...

Throughput maximization is a key challenge in cognitive radio ad hoc networks, where the availability of local spectrum resources may change from time to time and hopby-hop. To ach...

Cognitive radios (CR) have the ability to dynamically adapt to local spectrum availability. In a network comprised of CR-enabled devices, layer-2 auto-configuration involves deter...
Abstract— Spectrum management is used to improve performance in multiuser communication system, e.g., cognitive radio or femtocell networks, where multiuser interference can lead...
