The end result of this competition is reduced CR throughput due to collisions among CRs that transmit in the same channel. In this context, the channel sensing order, i.e., the order in which CRs competing for the channels visit those channels, will affect their probability of successful access. This paper presents an investigation into the sensing order dispersion problem, where two or more autonomous CRs attempt to avoid one another by selecting those sensing orders that reduce the likelihood of collisions among one another. We present adaptive strategies that enable the CRs to achieve sensing order dispersion. We evaluate the performance of the presented adaptive strategies in terms of expected time for the autonomous CRs to reach collision-free sensing orders and also in terms of average number of successful transmissions in the network.","PeriodicalId":249175,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International ICST Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CROWNCOM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116738399","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 (CR) approach that is independent of other communication systems provides flexibility and certainty. One of the key issues is to reliably find unused radio channels also in the situations when there is no a priori information about possible other users. In this paper, we propose using the two-dimensional localization algorithm based on double-thresholding with adjacent cluster combining (2-D LAD ACC) method for detecting free channels. It is low-complex, blind and able to operate in any frequency area. This paper applies the 2-D LAD ACC method for real-world channel measurement data for the first time. The indoor measurements at WLAN bands verify that the 2-D LAD ACC method is able to operate in the real-life situation.","PeriodicalId":249175,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International ICST Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CROWNCOM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128590242","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}

Performance of recovery algorithms that taking advantage of the block sparsity structure is promising in the compressed sensing framework. In this paper, we propose a binary tree based recovery algorithm for block-sparse signals, where we exploit the fact that each block may have zero and nonzero elements both. The proposed algorithm improves the current algorithms through iteratively separating the recovered blocks of signals into two smaller blocks. Therefore, greedy searching based algorithm is possible to obtain more accurate basis for signal recovery. Simulations are performed and the results show the improvements over current block-based recovery algorithms.","PeriodicalId":249175,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International ICST Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CROWNCOM)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133867136","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}

To make good use of scalable property of demand and to increase fairness among customers, the concept of satisfaction degree is introduced. We also analyze our system's state and its transition theoretically and give the derivation of every parameter of system and the method to calculate them.

The existing spectrum sharing scheme adopts a deterministic Cournot game to formulate this problem, of which the solution is Nash equilibrium. This formulation implicitly assumes that each secondary user is willing to fully exchange transmission parameters with all other users and hence knows the complete information of all others. However, this assumption may not be true in general. To remedy this, the present paper considers a more realistic assumption of incomplete information, i.e., each secondary user may choose to conceal its private information for achieving higher transmission benefit. Following this assumption, we adopt a probabilistic Cournot game to propose an opportunistic transmission scheme to maximize the transmission benefit of all secondary users. Bayesian equilibrium is considered as the solution of this game. Moreover, we rigorously prove that a secondary user can improve its expected transmission benefit by actively hiding its private transmission parameters and increasing the variance of its allocated spectrum.","PeriodicalId":249175,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International ICST Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CROWNCOM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131115887","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 problem is formulated as a potential game, which is demonstrated to converge to a Nash equilibrium when distributed sequential play based on the best response dynamics is adopted.

Our analysis shows that the capacity scaling law is kept unchanged, O(1/√log n) by the number of nodes n, even after sensing errors are introduced.
