The assumed primary system is the wireless LAN (WLAN) operated with the protocol of IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). In such spectrum sharing system, it is required that the primary system is protected from the signals of the secondary system. In this paper, in order to keep the communication of the primary systems over the existence of the secondary systems, we propose a modified novel secondary MAC protocol, which can flexibly share the spectrum between WLAN and the secondary system. The proposed secondary MAC protocol of the packet transmission controls the packet transmission by the permission probability according to the primary system channel occupation ratio. The proposed method can keep the communication chance of the primary system without any change of the primary MAC protocol.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114901444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary (licensed user) has priority over the secondary user and it does not need to care about the secondary user transmissions. A time slotted system is assumed, so that the secondary user can perform spectrum sensing at the beginning of the slot to know if it is occupied by primary or not. If the slot is free, it can be utilized for secondary transmissions. This leads to no interference with primary user communication, assuming perfect sensing. Finding waiting time and queue length of this type of system has not, according to our best knowledge, been performed before. We perform theoretical analysis by applying M/D/1 priority queueing scheme. The results were used to evaluate the performance of the cognitive network. Simulation are used to validate the results, and simulation results demonstrate a high degree of accuracy for the derived expressions. Results indicate that the performance of the secondary user depends on the data traffic characteristics of the primary user, and under high arrival rate for the primary, the average waiting and average queueing length of the secondary user grow especially when the combined arrival rate approach the queue utilization factor.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127142049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accuracy and speed of estimation are the key indicators to select the appropriate spectrum sensing technique. Conventional spectrum estimation techniques which are based on short time Fourier transform (STFT) suffer from familiar problems such as low frequency resolution, high variance of estimated power spectrum and high side lobes/leakages. Methods such as multitaper spectrum estimation successfully alleviate these infarctions but exact a high price in terms of complexity. On these accounts, it appears that the filter bank spectrum estimation formulated by F. Boroujeny and wavelet based spectrum estimates are the most promising and pragmatic approaches for CR applications. This article surveys and appraises available literature on various spectrum sensing techniques and discusses spectrum sensing as a key element of CR system design.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130934607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Software Defined Radio (SDR) based applications which demand high sampling rate to eleminate the most of the analog components require high-performance technology and digital signal processing methods to handle and process the high sample rate data. State of the art technology such as FPGAs can support several hundred MHz of I/O data transfer rate. The internal hardware architecture, however, would limit the maximum operating frequency of the design. An alternative is therefore to use advanced DSP methods to overcome this bottleneck. Polyphase channelizers having spectral shifter to move the filter position are used in a scenario of dual standard (WLAN and UMTS) SDR receiver for the bandpass filtering. It will not only split the data in multiple paths to reduce the per arm data rate but the filter also operates at lower rate than the input sample frequency. Furthermore it can also eleminate the need of IQ demodulator.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130956020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultra Wide Band (UWB) systems are typical systems to be considered in a cognitive radio framework; their huge spectral occupation requires the mechanisms provided by cognitive radio and as they often operate in ad-hoc networks they have to manage the multiuser interference (MUI).

Cognitive radios and networks with cognitive signaling and data-aided mitigation techniques can become then key enablers for true heterogeneous communication environment with optimal sharing of the spectrum and coexistence. Cognitive pilot channel (CPC) is a novel, recently proposed approach which could guarantee a conflict-free coexistence.
