This paper assesses the communication link from smart meters to aggregators as (unlicensed) secondary users that transmit their data over the (licensed) primary uplink channel. The proposed scenario assumes: (i) meters' and aggregators'…
We consider the problem of Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Systems. We have developed a distributed algorithm that the Secondary users can run to sense the channel cooperatively. It is based on sequential detection algorithms which…
In a cognitive radio setting, secondary users opportunistically access the spectrum allocated to primary users. Finding the optimal sensing and transmission durations for the secondary users becomes crucial in order to maximize the…
This paper considers a cooperative OFDMA-based cognitive radio network where the primary system leases some of its subchannels to the secondary system for a fraction of time in exchange for the secondary users (SUs) assisting the…
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…
In cognitive radio (CR) networks, the secondary users (SUs) sense the spectrum licensed to the primary users (PUs) to identify and possibly transmit over temporarily unoccupied channels. Cooperative sensing was proposed to improve the…
In cognitive radio (CR) networks, secondary users (SUs) are allowed to opportunistically access the primary users (PUs) spectrum to improve the spectrum utilization; however, this increases the interference levels at the PUs. In this paper,…
This paper investigates power control and relay selection in Full Duplex Cognitive Relay Networks (FDCRNs), where the secondary-user (SU) relays can simultaneously receive and forward the signal from the SU source. We study both…
We investigate opportunistic cooperation between unlicensed secondary users and legacy primary users in a cognitive radio network. Specifically, we consider a model of a cognitive network where a secondary user can cooperatively transmit…
In this letter we study the potential benefits of improper signaling for a secondary user (SU) in underlay cognitive radio networks. We consider a basic yet illustrative scenario in which the primary user (PU) always transmit proper…
In this letter, we obtain the stable throughput region for a cognitive relaying scheme with a finite relaying buffer and imperfect sensing. The analysis investigates the effect of the secondary user's finite relaying capabilities under…
In this letter, a novel wireless powered protocol is proposed to maximize the system throughput of an energy harvesting (EH) based cognitive radio network, while satisfying a minimum primary user rate requirement. For EH, we exploit both…
A heterogeneous system, where small networks (e.g., small cell or WiFi) boost the system throughput under the umbrella of a large network (e.g., large cell), is a promising architecture for the 5G wireless communication networks, where…
This paper studies a cooperative cognitive radio network where two primary users (PUs) exchange information with the help of a secondary user (SU) that is equipped with multiple antennas and in return, the SU superimposes its own messages…
This paper analyzes the performance of the primary and secondary users (SUs) in an arbitrarily-shaped underlay cognitive network. In order to meet the interference threshold requirement for a primary receiver (PU-Rx) at an arbitrary…
This paper studies a generic model for cooperative cognitive radio networks where the secondary user is equipped with a finite relay queue as well as a finite battery queue. Our prime objective is to characterize the stable throughput…
In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio (CR) network in which the unlicensed (secondary) users are allowed to concurrently access the spectrum allocated to the licensed (primary) users provided that their interference to the primary…
Sharing the spectrum with in-band full-duplex (FD) primary users (PU) is a challenging and interesting problem in the underlay cognitive radio (CR) systems. The self-interference introduced at the primary network may dramatically impede the…
The paper aims to design cross-layer optimal scheduling algorithms for cooperative multi-hop Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs), where secondary users (SUs) assist primary user (PU)'s multi-hop transmissions and in return gain authorization to…
This paper studies cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks where secondary users collect local energy statistics and report their findings to a secondary base station, i.e., a fusion center. First, the average error…
