This paper presents a methodology and framework to minimize system power consumption for multichannel communications using cognitive radio (CR) based on the application quality of service requirement, the channel condition, and the radio capabilities and characteristics. The CR framework enables an adaptation process that is aware of the radio (component) capabilities and characteristics. This paper mathematically formulates a system power consumption minimization problem under a rate constraint for multichannel communications and develops numerical solutions. Simulation results show that the knowledge of the radio capabilities and characteristics can help to reduce system power consumption significantly (e.g., up to 55% for a multichannel system with Class A power amplifiers).","PeriodicalId":372928,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microwaves, Communications, Antennas and Electronics Systems","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116961400","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}

Thousands of man-years of effort have been expended in attempts to design more robust and reliable networks and to efficiently manage scarce spectrum resources. Software defined radio (SDR) and directional antennas are two key enabling technologies for improving radio communications. But simply attaching directional antennas to a conventional radio network will not significantly improve performance. Indeed, without the network providing critical pointing information, directional antennas would likely make performance worse while significantly increasing cost.","PeriodicalId":372928,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microwaves, Communications, Antennas and Electronics Systems","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114313714","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}

When this technique was previously applied to FR-4, an unexpected result (a horizontal dielectric constant less than the vertical dielectric constant) was obtained. It is hypothesized that the unexpected result is due to the fact that FR-4 is inhomogeneous. For example the glass fiber weave embedded in the FR-4 epoxy is not uniformly distributed. To test this hypothesis, similar measurements are performed on Rogers RO3010 material, which is strongly anisotropic, perfectly homogeneous, and is known from independent measurements to have a horizontal dielectric constant greater than the vertical. Several modifications to the original RA resonator that increase the frequency range over which useful measurements can be acquired are described and demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":372928,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microwaves, Communications, Antennas and Electronics Systems","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126330550","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}
