Results are presented regarding the impact of swept radars on a WiMAX system. The results show the impact of SIR (Received WiMAX signal to received radar signal ratio), radar antenna radiation patterns and rotation period estimation on the feasibility of radar spectrum access.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"222 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":"121646821","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 major physical layer issues include wideband front end, intelligent spectrum sensing and adaptive transmission scheme. In our work, we address the adaptive transmission issue and propose a new method. The method is for generating a time domain pulse in radio frequency (RF) range with the required frequency response.

With the development of advanced wireless radio technology, especially Discontiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DOFDM), discontiguous spectrum access and spectrum aggregation in a single radio has become possible. With the help of discontiguous spectrum access, the small spectrum fragments could be aggregated and further utilized, which can dramatically improve the spectrum utilization efficiency. Based on this observation, we propose Aggregation-Aware Spectrum Assignment (AASA), a spectrum assignment algorithm in cognitive ad-hoc networks. In AASA, we propose a spectrum assignment method that takes spectrum aggregation into consideration. Moreover, we prove that AASA optimizes the spectrum assignment and maximizes the number of users that can be supported in the system. Simulation result shows that AASA significantly increases the spectrum assignment efficiency compared with the existing solutions.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"7 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":"125485645","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 this paper we propose an adaptive subband selection technique based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to avoid interference for better system coexistence when multiple systems are operating in the same unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands. Under the assumption that the interference power level and the interfered frequency bands are identified at the receiver, interference thresholds, determined over both Gaussian and multipath fading channels, are applied to adaptively select the transmission subbands so that interference is avoided and the system coexistence issues are relaxed. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive subband selection method, the system bit error rates (BERs) under different interference levels are simulated and compared.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"1 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":"128823429","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 this paper, unlike a primary/secondary model, cognitive radio is defined as wireless communication technology in which each node communicates via an optimal wireless system based on recognition of radio resource availability in heterogeneous wireless communication systems. Therefore, it is important to be able to recognize such radio resource availability accurately. However, a cognitive radio node is unable to recognize the subsequent radio resource availability at the time of selecting the optimal wireless system. The authors focus on the prediction of radio resource availability to resolve the above issue. In this paper, the authors focus on IEEE802.11 and radio channel occupation time, which is calculated from packet length and the transmission rate, is used as radio resource availability. From the results of the examination, it would seem feasible that the auto-correlation coefficient (or partial auto-correlation coefficient) could be utilized as information on the reliability of the prediction value when an auto-regression model (AR model) is used for the prediction. Furthermore, by comparing n-step-ahead prediction for a time series calculated for a 1-second interval and 1-step-ahead prediction for a time series calculated for an n-second interval, it is shown that the accuracy of the prediction in both cases is almost identical when the information volume to calculate a prediction expression is the same. Therefore, either prediction approach can be selected depending on the cognitive radio system.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"42 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":"128325896","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}

Routing should not base on common control channel because it is not ensured that common control channel can be obtained by each node. In this paper, we propose a spectrum aware on-demand routing which doesn't base on control channel. A channel assignment algorithm aimed at improving link utilization is derived from delay-analysis. The overhead and gain by switching are balanced in this algorithm. For deafness problem caused by switching can result in significant performance degradation, constraints to avoid the appearance of deafness in channel assignment process are given. We stress that our approach can be easily implemented for the using of standard IEEE 802.11DCF. Results of simulation show that, our approach can well fit MSCRN and improve the network throughput comparing to the same network scenario without cognitive ability.","PeriodicalId":409408,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)","volume":"22 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":"122968026","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}
