Spectrum sensing receives much attention recently in the cognitive radio (CR) network research, i.e., secondary users (SUs) constantly monitor channel condition to detect the presence of the primary users (PUs). In this paper, we go beyond…

Spectrum sensing is the challenge for cognitive radio design and implementation, which allows the secondary user to access the primary bands without interference with primary users. Cognitive radios should decide on the best spectrum band…

Cognitive radio (CR) is found to be an emerging key for efficient spectrum utilization. In this paper, spectrum sharing among service providers with the help of cognitive radio has been investigated. The technique of spectrum sharing among…

With the advent of the 5th generation of wireless standards and an increasing demand for higher throughput, methods to improve the spectral efficiency of wireless systems have become very important. In the context of cognitive radio, a…

While there are continuous efforts to introduce new communication systems and standards, it is legitimate to ask the question: how can one send additional bits by minimally changing the systems that are already operating? This is of a…

This paper investigates the design of access policies in spectrum sharing networks by exploiting the retransmission protocol of legacy primary users (PUs) to improve the spectral efficiency via opportunistic retransmissions at secondary…

Spectrum sensing is of critical importance in any cognitive radio system. When the primary user's signal has uncertain parameters, the likelihood ratio test, which is the theoretically optimal detector, generally has no closed-form…

We consider a secondary user (SU) with energy harvesting capability. We design access schemes for the SU which incorporate random spectrum sensing and random access, and which make use of the primary automatic repeat request (ARQ) feedback.…

A new perspective on cognitive radio is presented, where the pre-existent legacy service is either uncoded or coded and a pair of cognitive transceivers need be appropriately deployed to coexist with the legacy service. The basic idea…

We use the term protocol coding to denote the communication strategies in which information is encoded through the actions taken by a certain communication protocol. In this work we investigate strategies for protocol coding via…

Opportunistically sharing the white spaces, or the temporarily unoccupied spectrum licensed to the primary user (PU), is a practical way to improve the spectrum utilization. In this paper, we consider the fundamental problem of rate regions…

Cognitive radios have been proposed as a means to implement efficient reuse of the licensed spectrum. The key feature of a cognitive radio is its ability to recognize the primary (licensed) user and adapt its communication strategy to…

We study two distinct, but overlapping, networks that operate at the same time, space, and frequency. The first network consists of $n$ randomly distributed \emph{primary users}, which form either an ad hoc network, or an…

This letter analyzes the sensing-throughput tradeoff for a secondary user (SU) under random arrivals and departures of multiple primary users (PUs). We first study the case where PUs change their status only during SU's sensing period. We…

We consider power control in cognitive radio networks where secondary users identify and exploit instantaneous and local spectrum opportunities without causing unacceptable interference to primary users. We qualitatively characterize the…

In this paper, we consider a primary and a cognitive user transmitting over a wireless fading interference channel. The primary user transmits with a constant power and utilizes an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme satisfying a…

This paper investigates the maximum throughput for a rechargeable secondary user (SU) sharing the spectrum with a primary user (PU) plugged to a reliable power supply. The SU maintains a finite energy queue and harvests energy from natural…

In this paper, a cross-layer framework to jointly optimize spectrum sensing and scheduling in resource constrained agile wireless networks is presented. A network of secondary users (SUs) accesses portions of the spectrum left unused by a…

The most important problem in telecommunication is bandwidth limitation due to the uncontrolled growth of wireless technology. Deploying dynamic spectrum access techniques is one of the procedures provided for efficient use of bandwidth. In…

When two or more users in a wireless network transmit simultaneously, their electromagnetic signals are linearly superimposed on the channel. As a result, a receiver that is interested in one of these signals sees the others as unwanted…
