Abstract

Random access protocol takes advantage of constructing a decentralized wireless network due to its intrinsic spectrum sensing capability. Such technical feature goes well with cognitive radio networks consisting of heterogeneous wireless systems, in which a centralized control between heterogeneous wireless systems is hard to be implemented. Motivated by the decentralized feature of the random access, we adopt the random access protocol in cognitive radio networks, and evaluate the performance of a CSMA-based cognitive radio network.

임의 접속(random access) 프로토콜은 기본적으로 센싱 기능을 가지고 있으며, 이것을 이용하여 분산형 무선 네트워크 시스템 구축에 적합한 특징을 가지고 있다. 이러한 기술적 특징은 중앙식 제어(centralized control)가 어려운 이기종 시스템들이 동작하는 인지 무선 통신 환경에 대하여 장점을 가지며, 인지 무선 통신 환경에서 임의 접속의 성능을 검증해 보아야 한다는 동기를 제공한다. 이 논문에서 우리는 인지 무선 통신 환경에서 CSMA/CA(carrier-sensing multiple access with collision avoidance)기법을 도입하고, 성능을 분석하는 기본 틀을 제공한다.
