Abstract

Opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) allows unlicensed users to share licensed spectrum in space and time with no or little interference to primary users, with bring new research challenges in MAC design. We propose a cognitive MAC protocol using statistical channel utilization information and selecting appropriate spectrum hole for multi-channel data transmission. The protocol based on the CSMA/CA, exploits statistics of spectrum usage for decision making on channel access.
