Since energy efficiency is the primary criteria in performance of the network, any saving in energy is highly desirable. Sensor networks consists of nodes in which have limited computational power and are limited in energy resource. The transmission of data packets to the base station with the minimum possible energy and least possible delay are the goals of efficient routing algorithms. The data collected by each node is communicated through the network to the base station which processes it to gather information about the network or to detect an event in the environment. In this paper we propose a new routing scheme which exploits the redundancy and geometrical properties of the wireless network. The approach we take is to combine the ideas of directional flooding, leveling, clustering and disjoint multipath routing to achieve an optimal routing scheme in terms of average energy consumed and total number of transmitted packets. Processing and structuring of the network before the implementation of the directional flooding algorithm improves the performance considerably when compared to the implementation of directional flooding algorithm without any preprocessing. We carry out extensive experimentation and simulations to corroborate our claims.","PeriodicalId":198556,"journal":{"name":"2009 First UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116710143","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}

Conventional energy detection technique (with N samples) is based on two hypotheses — i) where all N are signal samples corrupted by noise, ii) where all N are noise-only samples. Based on these two hypotheses a threshold is set for declaring a given N-sample signal as belonging to either of the two cases. This paper considers those cases which occur in practice — M samples out of N being signal corrupted with noise and the rest being noise-only, 0 ≤ M ≤ N, thus covering the conventional two hypotheses as well. The method described here, referred to as “hybrid energy detection”, proposes a combination of a 32-sample detector with a 16-sample detector which yields an improvement in performance in most such mixed signal-noise cases. The “hybrid energy detection” method requires certain thresholds to be set, in order to maximize the gain. We use simulated annealing to find those threshold values. The cost function used for simulated annealing takes into consideration the ratio of sensing time interval to transmit time interval in the secondary user.","PeriodicalId":198556,"journal":{"name":"2009 First UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124050581","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 proposed strategy enables cognitive radios (CR) to vacate the spectrum if primary user (PU) needs it back or to adjust its transmit power in order to avoid interference with PU or nearby CR. Using our scheme, CR switches between the bands only if it is not able to modify its transmit power within the tolerable interference limits. Thus, our work is divided in two modules, one with the priority to control CR transmit power within tolerable range and second to switch to another frequency band in order to avoid interference. Simulated results show that using our proposed fuzzy power control scheme, we can decrease transmit power consumption and achieve lower number of spectrum handovers.","PeriodicalId":198556,"journal":{"name":"2009 First UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124127174","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}

In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative spectrum sensing protocol that exhibits improved performance compared to existing protocols. In this protocol, decision fusion is used to reach a final decision based on the decisions made in each time slot at the secondary user with the lower detection probability.

Spatial filtering is implemented at the RS for transmit and receive processing which is evaluated using zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criterion. MATLAB simulations are conducted to evaluate the validity of the algorithm using both criterions in presence of frequency selective environment. The simulation results depict that the algorithm under defined conditions performs better in a frequency selective fading environment with the use of OFDM. Also, the BER performance evaluated through spatial filtering done using MMSE is found to be better than its ZF counterpart.","PeriodicalId":198556,"journal":{"name":"2009 First UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129276446","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}
