The allocation of bandwidth to unlicensed users, without significantly increasing the interference on the existing licensed users, is a challenge for Ultra Wideband (UWB) networks....
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...
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...
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...
