For a scenario where only mean channel gains from secondary users to primary receiving points, which are averaged over short-term fading, are available, we derive outage probabilities for secondary users and interference constraint violation probabilities for primary users. Based on the analysis, we develop a framework to perform joint admission control and rate/power allocation for secondary users such that statistical guarantees on the violation probabilities of both the QoS and the interference constraints are achieved. Spectrum access by the secondary users can exploit the time-varying nature of the activity of the primary users, and thereby much higher throughput can be achieved compared to the case where primary users are assumed to be active at all time. Also, via extensive numerical analysis, throughput performances of primary and secondary users are investigated considering different levels of implementation complexity due to channel estimation.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123125610","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 prediction accuracy of the transmission capability in each wireless media will directly affect the performance of the transmission performance. In this paper, a novel approach to predict the radio environment using AR model is shown in detail. In the cognitive radio system using the multi-transmission links, each wireless node selects an optimal wireless module, based on recognition of the radio environment in heterogeneous wireless communication systems. In this scheme, the reliable method to compare the heterogeneous wireless media capacity with normalized scale is necessary. The authors introduce the new index of the wireless resources as \"availability of wireless transmission capability\" than the existing and the well known the radio intensity like Signal/Noise ratio, BER or re-transmission ratio. This index enables us to compare the wireless resources between the heterogeneous wireless media. Moreover, it can applicable to the unlicensed band like Wi-Fi where many wireless nodes act themselves in the same area. The verification of the possibility and applicability of the radio environment prediction are shown using field data in various points. Based on the results of the verification, the possibility and the accuracy to predict the wireless media capacity according to the radio environment parameter are shown. The result is independent of locations of the field. Furthermore, the advantage of the prediction in comparison with the approach without prediction is shown from the viewpoint of statistics.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115023810","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}

A hybrid priority dynamic policy, which indicates primary user's preemptive priority and secondary user's nonpreemptive priority, is developed to reduce spectrum switch overhead during spectrum leasing process. Theoretical analyzing shows that hybrid priority reduces the spectrum switch overhead and the hybrid priority improvement is a non-negative mono-increasing function of priority level. Based on the proposed policy, CR scheduling model is built and CR scheduling rule is provided and proved. Experimental comparison between CR scheduling and priority queue shows that CR scheduling gets a smaller weighted staying time sum than priority queue and the improvement increases as system becomes more congested.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133865116","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 capacity gain over conventional relay is investigated in terms of the normalized system capacity. We first statistically model the spectrum usage pattern in those bands and derive the achievable data rate and outage probability in order to analyze performance gain in the view of practical system establishment. Then, we define system capacity by normalizing the effect of bandwidth so that a fair comparison of performance is accomplished. Through our analysis and simulations, it is shown that the proposed scenarios are able to achieve significant gains over a conventional cellular relay system in terms of the normalized system capacity. As a result, relay combined with cognitive radio can be considered as a viable solution to get higher downlink capacity.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134039522","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}

Suppose that the SU's transmitter and receiver are equipped with multiple antennas and the PU's receiver are equipped with single receive antenna. We assume that the SU's channel state information (CSI) is known at the SU transmitter perfectly, however, due to less cooperation between the SU and the PU, only partial CSI between SU and PU is available at the SU transmitter. We seek to determine the optimal transmit signal covariance to maximize the transmission rate of the SU where the covariance is subject to the average interference power constraint of the PU as well as the transmit power constraint of the SU transmitter. Two iterative algorithms are proposed to solve these problems, and it is shown that the algorithms can converge to the optimal solution.

In this paper we propose a subband adaptive filtering method for effective spectrum access and dynamic spectrum sharing in cognitive radios (CR). Based on an interleaved spread spectrum orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ISS-OFDM) multiple subband transmission signal and subband adaptive filtering technique, some interfered subbands of the transmission signal are filtered and dropped off. The other subbands without interference or with interference less than a predetermined threshold are used for information transmission. The flexibility of the adaptively selecting transmission subbands provides users with the ability to fill in spectrum holes with appropriate number of subbands. Consequently, the spectrum utilization efficiency is improved. We simulate the system bit error rate (BER) performances and demonstrate the improvement on spectrum utilization efficiency by using this subband adaptive filtering method, when different numbers of subbands are used for information transmission.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132998483","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}

Each user experiences a time-varying channel and submits a bid for transmission right in each time slot. A base station collects bids from all users and allocates the channel to a user with the highest bid, who then pays the price equal the second highest bid. The distinctive feature of our model is that it treats time as money and allows each user to bid and to pay for the transmission rights using his/her own communication time. For each time slot, the value of a bid submitted by each user is equal the amount of time he/she promises to forfeit to the base station for the right to transmit during the remaining of the time slot. That means the base station collects part of each time slot from the winning user for its own usage and allocates the rest to the winning user. Users can vary their bids based on their channel conditions, subject to constraints on average budgets. From the users' point of view, we show that there exists Nash equilibrium bidding strategies in the two-user case. From the base station's point of view, we investigate how average budget constraints should be set to balance between base station's revenue and users' satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121877206","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}
