Spectrum sensing serves as the primary stimulus for a cognitive radio and is vitally important for ensuring that the unlicensed users do not offer intolerable levels of interference to licensed (primary) users. Cooperative spectrum sensing provides the capability to cognitive networks to overcome problems related to “hidden” primary users. In this paper, we present a novel technique that takes advantage of cooperative diversity to establish clustering among cooperating secondary users. This technique is then extended to group-based spectrum sensing to establish a tasking mechanism. The technique ensures enhanced agility that will result in a reduction of interference to primary users through their early detection.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"72 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":"114730411","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 envisaged technical solution is based on a joint centralized and distributed approach for both intra-and inter-operator scenarios. Spectrum assignment decisions benefit from a distributed approach that can be realized by the pooling of resources at higher layers together. The paper investigates the possible interworking between the two techniques for the benefits of achieving higher performance and capacity gains. Based on the proposed framework, operators will be able to demand portions of the spectrum for a certain time period and coordinate this action with the actual network loads. The framework is described in terms of functionalities, physical entities, and mutual interactions. The proposed integrated framework can reduce the CAPEX and OPEX during the deployment of IMT-A systems.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"18 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":"124130738","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}

SWR signal, therefore, is composed of different standard's signals and this combination leads to high temporal fluctuations and thus SWR signal inherits high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Non-linear analogue components (amplifiers, converters etc.) cause distortions for high PAPR signals which result in system performance degradation. Usually PAPR problem is addressed in time domain while this paper presents frequency domain interpretation of PAPR which is more appropriate in CR dynamic spectrum access context. A new PAPR formulation is presented which depends only upon spectral values of the signal thus associates spectrum with PAPR. As a result this vision assists in spectrum access for CR systems by providing PAPR metric information related to any available bandwidth. Consequently, bandwidth allocation in a spectrum access scenario under PAPR constraint is simplified.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"52 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":"121426204","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}

Cognitive radio networks offer a promising realization of this novel paradigm, thanks to their ability to autonomously identify the white spaces through spectrum sensing. Implementation of such networks, however, requires a model translating the regulatory constraint on the aggregate interference to the system- and device-level design parameters. In this paper a statistical model of interference aggregation in spectrum-sensing cognitive radio networks is developed. In particular, distribution of the aggregate interference is characterized in terms of parameters such as sensitivity, transmitted power, and density of the cognitive radios as well as the underlying propagation environment. The model is further extended to account for the effect of cooperative spectrum sensing on the distribution of the aggregate interference.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"16 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":"131696469","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}

However, this cognitive spectrum hole access makes the bandwidth of the cognitive radio network (CRN) formed by multiple CRs varies severely, which makes providing quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee over the CRN a very challenging task. Considering cooperative diversity with the merit of alleviating bandwidth variation, this paper proposes a cooperative scheduling algorithm for the CR in the CRN to select a relay path with the lowest packet dropping probability for packet transmissions. Under this scheme, the upper bounds of the mean packet dropping probability have been analytically derived and the corresponding admission control mechanism is further proposed. Analytical results show that the proposed scheme provides a better QoS guarantee than direct transmissions without cooperative relay for the CRN. Simulation results also confirm that traffic sources admitted into the system can absolutely meet their mean packet dropping probability requirements.","PeriodicalId":154100,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management","volume":"1983 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":"130543177","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}
