Cognitive radio technology enables us to utilize the extra spectrum which is not used by the primary users by sensing the channel condition. To use such an extra spectrum, spectrum allocation is one of the important issues in the cognitive radio networks. The network is dynamic and the available channels are changeable, and the opportunistic channel allocation is required to use the resource efficiently without interference to the primary networks. In this paper, modified proportional fairness scheduling is proposed for cognitive radio networks to satisfy the both fairness and system throughput, and the modified scheduling was designed to reduce the interference to the primary users.

We propose the control channel access scheme for multi-interface multi-hop cognitive radio (CR) environment having a cluster structure. Due to the difficulty of obtaining common channels across the entire CR network, most multi-interface multi-hop CR networks put the control channel outside the CR bandwidth and dedicate one network interface to it in order to exchange the control information such as the activation of licensed users. However, this will be the waste of the network interface. Our focus is how to alternate between the control and the data channel without multichannel hidden node problem under the cluster structure where CR nodes connect with neighbors through multiple data channels. By using simulation, we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme achieves higher network throughput than the dedicated scheme where one network interface card should dedicate to the control channel and cannot be used for data transmission.

With the rapid increase of energy consumption and environmental problems, the need for green techniques is increasing. Network coding can provide a solution by reducing unnecessary data transmission and by estimating traffic patterns. In addition, it can amplify the synergy with the cognitive radio network (CR) since the CR has recognition and optimal decision functionalities. In this paper, we propose a network coding based green cognitive radio network. With the simulations, we show that the proposed scheme is up to 25% better than the previous work.

Resource of wireless frequency bandwidth is gradually going to be deficient due to explosive increase of traffic and saturated non-licensed frequency band such as ISM. In the contrary, many licensed frequency bands are revealed to be low in utilization by several measurement based researches. To alleviate this inefficiency, a concept of cognitive radio is suggested. Cognitive radio lets non-licensed user exploit the licensed frequency band as long as non-licensed user does not interfere licensed user and as a result, it is possible to harness wireless frequency more efficiently. IEEE 802.22 is the first standard network with cognitive radio technology and it employs Two-Stage channel sensing mechanism to accomplish both enough licensed user protection and efficient channel utilization. In this paper, we analyze the overhead of Two-Stage channel sensing mechanism and identify the influence of channel sensing time to the overhead.

The scheme for recognizing the channel availability is one of the most important research issues in cognitive radio systems utilizing unused frequency bands. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of selecting sensing channel in order to improve the sensing ability of frequency status in cognitive radio ad hoc networks. To fully exploit the sensing ability of each cognitive radio user, we adopt a master for a cluster which is made of several cognitive radio users. By gathering and analyzing the sensing information from cognitive radio users in the cluster, the cooperative sensing is realized. Since the transmission range of a licensed user is limited, it is possible that a master determines different sensing channels to each cognitive radio users based on their location. By making cognitive radio users sense different channels, the proposed scheme can recognize the state of wireless spectrum fast and precisely. Using the simulation, we compare the performance of the proposed scheme with those of two different compared schemes that one makes cognitive radio users recognize the frequency status based on their own sensing results and the other shares frequency status information but does not utilize the location information of licensed user. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides available channels as many as possible while detecting the activation of licensed user immediately.

Channel allocation is one of the important issues in the multichannel transmission. In the cognitive radio networks, channel allocation scheme should be designed to improve spectrum efficiency without interfering with the transmission of licensed users. In this paper, we propose a spectrum hole prediction based channel allocation scheme. The proposed channel allocation scheme, predicts spectrum hole by using the channel success rate, and limit the transmission of secondary user's data, and it reduces the interference to the primary user. The performance of proposed channel allocation scheme is evaluated by the computer simulation.

Spectrum scarcity problem and increasing spectrum demand for new wireless applications have embossed the importance of cognitive radio technology; the technology enables the sharing of channels among secondary (unlicensed) and primary (licensed) users on a non-interference basis after sensing the vacant channel. To enhance the accuracy of sensing, distributed spectrum sensing is proposed. However, it is necessary to provide the robustness against the compromised sensing nodes in the distributed spectrum sensing. RDSS, a fusion mechanism based on the reputation of sensing nodes and WSPRT (weighted sequential probability ratio test), was proposed. However, in RDSS, the execution number of WSPRT could increase according to the order of inputted sensing values, and the fast defense against the forged values is difficult. In this paper, we propose an enhanced fusion mechanism to input the sensing values in reputation order and exclude the sensing values with the high possibility to be compromised, using the trend of reputation variation. We evaluate our mechanism through simulation. The results show that our mechanism improves the robustness against attack with the smaller number of sensing values and more accurate detection ratio than RDSS.
