The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. has made the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band (3.55 - 3.7 GHz) available for commercial wireless usage under a shared approach using a three-tier hierarchical architecture,…
The paradigm of shared spectrum allows secondary devices to opportunistically access spectrum bands underutilized by primary owners. Recently, the FCC has targeted the sharing of the 3.5 GHz (3550-3700 MHz) federal spectrum with commercial…
Unlicensed spectrum has been viewed as a way to increase competition in wireless access and promote innovation in new technologies and business models. However, several recent papers have shown that the openness of such spectrum can also…
Dynamic spectrum access allows the unlicensed wireless users (secondary users) to dynamically access the licensed bands from legacy spectrum holders (primary users) either on an opportunistic or a cooperative basis. In this paper, we focus…
Over the past decade we have witnessed a rapid growth and development in wireless communication systems, to the point that conventional spectrum allocation policies may not be able to fulfill them all. Federal Communications Commission…
As part of its ongoing efforts to meet the increased spectrum demand, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently opened up 150 MHz in the 3.5 GHz band for shared wireless broadband use. Access and operations in this band, aka…
Based on the theory of the Federal Communications Commission, the spectrum available on cognitive radio networks is limit and the non-optimal use of the spectrum necessitates the need for a telecommunications model, so that this pattern can…
Spectrum sharing between terrestrial 5G and incumbent networks in the satellite bands presents a promising avenue to satisfy the ever-increasing bandwidth demand of the next-generation wireless networks. However, protecting incumbent…
The 3.7 - 3.98 GHz frequency band (also known as C-band) was recently allocated in the US for the deployment of 5G cellular services. Prior to this, the lower adjacent band, 3.55 - 3.7 GHz, had been allocated to Citizens Broadband Radio…
The frequency spectrum is an essential resource for wireless communication. Special sections of the spectrum are used for military purposes, governments sell some frequency bands to broadcasting and mobile communications companies for…
Spectrum access is an important function of cognitive radios for detecting and utilizing spectrum holes without interfering with the legacy systems. In this paper we propose novel cooperative communication models and show how deploying such…
The licensing model for millimeter wave bands has been the subject of considerable debate, with some industry players advocating for unlicensed use and others for traditional geographic area exclusive use licenses. Meanwhile, the massive…
Co-existence between unlicensed networks that share spectrum spatio-temporally with terrestrial (e.g. Air Traffic Control) and shipborne radars in 3-GHz band is attracting significant interest. Similar to every primary-secondary coexistence…
Spectrum sharing is a critical strategy for meeting escalating user demands via commercial wireless services, yet its effective regulation and technological enablement, particularly concerning coexistence with incumbent systems, remain…
Cognitive radio (CR) systems allow opportunistic, secondary users (SUs) to access portions of the spectrum that are unused by the network's licensed primary users (PUs), provided that the induced interference does not compromise the primary…
Traditional regulatory methods for spectrum licensing have been recently identified as one of the causes for the under-utilization of the valuable radio spectrum. Governmental agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are…
The utilization of unlicensed spectrum presents a promising solution to the issue of spectrum scarcity in densely populated areas, while also offering a cost-effective means to connect underserved regions. In response to this potential,…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of spectrum access decision-making for the Secondary Users (SUs) in the cognitive radio networks. When the Primary Users (PUs) are absent on certain frequency bandwidth, SUs can formulate a queue…
Radio Spectrum is most precious and scarce resource and must be utilized efficiently and effectively. Cognitive radio is the promising solutions for the optimum utilization of the scared natural resource. The spectrum owned by the primary…
In this paper, we address the general case of a coordinated secondary network willing to exploit communication opportunities left vacant by a licensed primary network. Since secondary users (SU) usually have no prior knowledge on the…
