In this paper, we propose an orthogonal beamforming methodology which enables cognitive radio systems to coexist with primary users' systems in the same spectrum and region with no interference to the primary users' systems. The orthogonal beams are obtained using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization based on primary users' channel state information. In addition, to increase the sum-rate of the CR systems, the proposed scheme adopts an opportunistic beamforming method. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme does not cause interference to the primary users and provides higher sum-rate capacity than that of conventional CR systems.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"49 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":"122077837","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}

Since there is a tradeoff between the probability of missed detection and the probability of false alarm according to a value of sensing threshold, it is very important to determine the sensing threshold suitable for cognitive radio environments. In this paper, we propose a novel method to determine the sensing threshold in the cognitive radio system, in which the secondary user (SU) first decides its transmission power for the communication and then decides the sensing threshold for the coexistence with the primary user (PU). For the coexistence, the SU controls its sensing threshold adaptively according to its transmission power in order to guarantee the minimum decodable SINR for the primary receiver. The analysis results show that the adaptively controlled sensing threshold decreases both the missed detection and the false alarm simultaneously and so enables both SU and PU to coexist in the same channel without interfering each other.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"64 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":"122495212","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 method exploits model selection tools like Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Akaike weights to sense holes in the spectrum band. Specifically, we assume that the noise of the radio spectrum band can still be adequately modeled using Gaussian distribution. We then compute and analyze Akaike weights in order to decide if the distribution of the received signal fits the noise distribution or not. Our theoretical result are validated using experimental measurements captured by Eurecom RF Agile Platform.

In a DSA network, multi-carrier based cognitive radio transceivers need to deactivate some of its subcarriers to avoid interference to primary users. However, by deactivating subcarriers, orthogonality among different spreading codes are lost, leading to poor BER performance. The performance of the NC-MC-CDMA can be improved by adaptive spreading code adjustment to compensate for the loss of orthogonality. However, since Hadamard-Walsh codes only exist for certain code length, loss of orthogonality can only be minimized instead of eliminated for many cases. On the other hand, orthogonal Carrier Interferometry codes exist for code length of any integer. Hence, by applying non-contiguous CI/MC-CDMA into DSA, the loss of orthogonality among spreading codes caused by deactivating subcarriers can be eliminated. As a direct result, adaptive NC-CI/MC-CDMA significantly outperforms adaptive NC-MC-CDMA using Hadamard-Walsh codes.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"61 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":"128364742","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}
