This method makes use of the positioning function of UWB and takes info account the energy consumption in the network. By modeling the property of energy consumption, we find that energy and quality-of-service (QOS) issues are greatly influenced by the route selected. Accordingly, a new routing algorithm is derived to search for energy-efficient routes that can support adequate QOS requirements.

NC-OFDM is designed to transmit information in the presence of incumbent users, deactivating subcarriers located in the vicinity of these users to avoid interference. Given that the. core, component of an NC-OFDM transceiver is the fast Fourier transform (FFT), and that several of the subcarriers are deactivated, it is possible to reduce the execution time by \"pruning\" the FFT. We propose an algorithm that efficiently and quickly primes the FFT for NC-OFDM transceivers.

In order to adequately consider the directivity properties of real antennas, out analysis is suitably based on a ray tracing UWB channel model since this reflects the dependence on the angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) of any multipath. A mathematical framework is given which also allows an optimization of such an UWB multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system using different types of transmitting and receiving antennas on behalf of idealistic omnidirectional ones. Beside the angle dependence, the antenna transfer functions are without doubt frequency dependent on such a large UWB bandwidth, so that they will be evaluated with suitable analog design specialized tools for the fast and accurate three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation of high frequency circuits. Simulation results allowing concrete guidelines on the antenna influence are provided in the last section of this paper","PeriodicalId":422961,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications","volume":"30 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133037333","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}

Reconfiguration decisions call for advanced management functionality. This paper provides such management functionality by addressing a pertinent problem, called \"RAT and spectrum selection, QoS assignment and traffic distribution\" (RSQT). Our work contributes in four main areas. First, we formally define and solve a fully distributed problem version, which is very important for the management of a particular reconfigurable element. Second, we propose robust learning and adaptation, strategies for estimating (discovering) the performance potentials of alternate reconfigurations.

A configuration management architecture capable of dealing with the hardware heterogeneity and a wide range of reconfiguration scenarios expected with SDR systems is presented. The management is distributed over the system and a hierarchical dependency is set on 3 layers, each having a different level of knowledge of the system and the associated hardware constraints of the elements it supervises. Then a cognitive management functional architecture is derived from the previous one, copying the 3 layers of hierarchy.

In an ideal channel, interference temperature (IT) which is directly proportional to the interference power can be assumed to vary spatially with the frequency of the sub channel. We propose a scheme for approximating ITs over an extended C-band (licensed and unused television band) by fitting sub channel frequencies and corresponding ITs to a regression model. Using this model, IT of a random sub channel can be calculated by the base station (BS) for further analysis of the channel interference. Our proposed model based on readings reported by sensors helps in dynamic channel selection (S-DCS) in extended C-band for assignment to unlicensed secondary users. S-DCS maximizes channel utilization and proves to be economic from energy consumption point of view. It also exhibits substantial amount of accuracy with error bound within 6.8%. Again, users are assigned empty sub channels without actually probing them, incurring minimum delay in the process.
