Empowering cognitive radio networks: residual inception–enriched recurrent convolutional neural network–driven QOS enhancement and energy efficiency strategy

SummaryDue to the rise in information rate prerequisite and the heterogeneity level, the modification in network traffic in the upcoming wireless communication (WC) encompasses innovative challenges in the case of energy efficiency (EE) and spectrum management. To tackle this issue, several existing techniques have been imposed but none of the frameworks provided effective solutions to compatible with recent WC applications. This framework introduces an innovative deep learning (DL)–based distributed cognitive radio network (DCRN). The proposed scheme emphasizes single base station (BS) management, where resource effectiveness is obtained by solving active resource allocation (RA) problems using a bipartite matching (BM) technique. A DL scheme is emphasized to predict the traffic load (TL) for effective EE using a residual inception‐enriched recurrent convolutional neural network (R‐InceptionRCNN). The proposed method is implemented in Python, and the performance metrics including uplink (UL) achievable capacity per secondary user (SU), UL achievable capacity per SU, cost of energy consumption, EE, and mean energy saving (MES) are scrutinized and compared with conventional techniques. The proposed scheme achieved the overall costs, EE, MES, and UL capacity of 14.33 C/J, 149.99 J/MB, 13.49%, and 22.33 Mbps, respectively, on performing RA and TL prediction in the CRN platform.
