However, a few research questions remain to be addressed before the novel WPMCM can be used in practice. One of the major concerns is the performance of WPMCM transceivers in the presence of analogue radio frequency front-end imperfections. In this paper we analyze the impact of interference in WPMCM transmission caused by phase noise. The sensitivity of WPMCM transceivers to these errors using standard wavelets is evaluated through simulation studies and their performances are compared and contrasted with OFDM.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"148 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":"132500873","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}

Due to the non-uniformed Doppler spread in the wide-band, it is not efficient to use the traditional ICI cancelation schemes. In this paper, the NC-OSDM transmission system is proposed for ICI cancelation under this circumstance. With the performance evaluation, NC-OSDM outperforms over the equivalent NC-OFDM 15dB in the power of ICI interference.

The scheme realizes a trade-off between enhanced spectrum utilization in moderate call traffic conditions and fast response to emergency situations modeled by a step input in call attempts. Experimental simulations show that the proposed scheme is superior to the existing schemes in emergency situations while providing a comparable performance with the existing hybrid channel allocation schemes at moderate call traffic levels making it very relevant for unforeseen situations.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"7 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":"130420610","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}

For complete spectrum sensing, detecting just the NB signals is not enough, as the primary user's signal may equally well be a wideband (WB) signal.

We argue that the cognitive radio & networks paradigm has the potential to solve these problem by allowing for near real-time, efficent, and fair radio resource management. So, the next step is to concetrate on the design of flexible and agile radio resource allocation protocols capable to coordinate the conflicting spectrum interest of heterogeneous users. The comprehensive study of heterogeneous, conflicting, cognitive systems (radios or networks) demand powerful analysis and simulation tools.

The aim of this paper is to address the ultra wide-band spectrum sensing, i.e. to detect the existence of spectral holes in ultra-wide frequency bands in order to improve the spectrum utilization and minimize the interference to the primary communications. Because of channel fading, the detection by one cognitive radio (CR) receiver is subject to missed detection, therefore it is instrumental for a network of spatially diverse CRs to collaborate during the spectrum sensing. In this paper, the collaborative detection is performed and the decentralized decision is discussed.

In this approach, secondary transmissions are overlayed on top of primary transmissions as long as they do not affect the primary transmission. A Transmit Margin is defined and used to quantify the spare capacity in the primary network. We setup a system to estimate and track the Packet Error Rates (PER) and use it as a metric for transmit opportunity detection. A distributed estimation procedure to increase the robustness of the estimate is also proposed for cognitive radio networks.
