The spectrum scarcity problem emerged in recent years, due to unbalanced utilization of RF (radio frequency) bands in the current state of wireless spectrum allocations. Spectrum a...
The cognitive radio (CR) paradigm calls for open spectrum access according to a predetermined etiquette. Under this paradigm, CR nodes access the spectrum opportunistically by cont...
—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...
—We consider opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) strategies for a transmitter in a multichannel wireless system, where a channel may or may not be available and the transmitter m...
Abstract—Cognitive radio is a key enabling technology of dynamic spectrum access for exploiting unused spectrum resources. This article focuses on modeling the opportunity for ce...
