In the cognitive radio system, many important issues exist. Spectrum sensing is one of the important issues, which has been studied throughout recently. In this paper, we propose a new distributed spectrum sensing scheme which considers the difference of sensing capabilities among cognitive terminals. By using our proposed scheme, we can effectively measure the sensing capability of a cognitive terminal and optimize the performance of the spectrum sensing by differentiating the number of spectrum sensing that each cognitive terminal performs. Through performance analysis and numerical results, we show that our proposed scheme can achieve desired performance in view of the probability of false alarm and the probability of miss detection compared to a conventional scheme.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"34 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":"117001679","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 general Bluetooth or ZigBee like low power solutions are used at sensor levels and high-power solutions like Wi-Fi are used at controller levels. In these contexts, the low-power sensor transmissions suffer more. It results in lesser throughput and higher latencies of sensor data. Because of these increased latencies, sensors may fail to satisfy their real-time data transfer obligations. In such cases, techniques like selective retransmissions of high-priority data and hop-sequence rearrangement of frequency-hopping devices would be useful to manage the interference problems of sensor level devices. Three such methods are proposed in this work. By employing these methods, wireless sensors that operate in interfered environments can be made to support real-time data transfers that are possible with wired sensor buses like controller area network (CAN).","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"57 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":"115634190","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}

System designers may easily come up with TPC (transmission power control) applied to the down-streams of a network, to increase the cell reuse factor, but this scheme alone is likely to encounter initial access issues where beacons are not either receivable or decodable inside the network's maximum transmission range. Such problems can be handled in two major approaches: first, relaying beacons in a distributed manner to statistically sweep out hidden areas; and second, explicit demand of beacons from a connecting device. The latter is called active scan (or sending probes) and can guarantee successful connections to the network if, and only if, appropriate mechanisms are provided to avoid interference to neighboring networks. In that context, we will explore a wide span of DSA (dynamic spectrum access) techniques and introduce a system, called DPA (discrete probe access)-OFDMA, where probe frames are transmitted with orthogonality maintained in the power and code domain. A group of cognitive techniques to boost the efficiency of active scans will be presented too.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"240 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":"124636865","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}

This means the reuse of sensing filter banks for transmission purpose also. But there was no consideration on the complexity issues associated with filter banks for CR.

Specifically, by considering a practical delay in spectrum sensing, an efficient algorithm based on dynamic programming (DP) is proposed to maximize the average sum-rate of the CR links over a finite time horizon under the constraints on the CR-to-PR interference and the average transmit power for each CR link. In the proposed algorithm, the PR occupancy of each channel is modeled as a discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC). Based on such a model, a novel power and rate control strategy is derived, which is a function of the delayed spectrum sensing output, the instantaneous channel gains for the CR links, and the remaining power budgets for the CR transmitters.
