With the explosivley increasing demand in wireless telecommunication service, the shortage of radio spectrum has been worsen. The traditional approach of the current fixed spectrum allocation leads to spectrum underutilization. Recently, CR (Cognitive Radio) technologies are proposed to enhance the spectrum utilization by allocating dynamically radio resources to CR Networks. In this study, we consider a radio resource(power, subcarrier) allocation problem for OFDMA-based CRN in which a base station supports a variety of CUs (CRN Users) while avoiding the radio interference to PRN (Primary Radio Network). The problem is mathematically formulated as a general 0-1 IP problem. The optimal solution method for the IP problem requires an unrealistic execution time due to its complexity. Therefore, we propose an heuristic that gives an approximate solution within a reasonable execution time.

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered an attractive technology to deal with the spectrum scarcity problem. Multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) can improve network capacity because data are transmitted by multiple RANs (radio access networks) concurrently. Thus, multi-RAT embedded in a cognitive radio network (CRN) is a promising paradigm for developing spectrum efficiency and network capacity in future wireless networks. In this study, we consider a new CRN model in which the primary user networks consist of heterogeneous primary users (PUs). Specifically, we focus on the energy-efficient resource allocation (EERA) problem for CR users with a special location coverage overlapping region in which heterogeneous PUs operate simultaneously via multi-RAT. We propose a two-tier crossover genetic algorithm-based search scheme to obtain an optimal solution in terms of the power and bandwidth. In addition, we introduce a radio environment map to manage the resource allocation and network synchronization. The simulation results show the proposed algorithm is stable and has faster convergence. Our proposal can significantly increase the energy efficiency.

In a cognitive radio network (CRN), cognitive radio users (CUs) should be powered by a small battery for their operations. The operations of the CU often include spectrum sensing and data transmission. The spectrum sensing process may help the CU avoid a collision with the primary user (PU) and may save the energy that is wasted in transmitting data when the PU is present. However, in a time-slotted manner, the sensing process consumes energy and reduces the time for transmitting data, which degrades the achieved throughput of the CRN. Subsequently, the sensing process does not always offer an advantage in regards to throughput to the CRN. In this paper, we propose a scheme to find an optimal policy (i.e., perform spectrum sensing before transmitting data or transmit data without the sensing process) for maximizing the achieved throughput of the CRN. In the proposed scheme, the data collection period is considered as the main factor effecting on the optimal policy. Simulation results show the advantages of the optimal policy.

Voice service is very demanding in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). The available spectrum in a CRN for CR users varies owing to the presence of licensed users. On the other hand, voice packets are delay sensitive and can tolerate a limited amount of delay. This makes the support of voice traffic in a CRN a complicated task that can be achieved by devising necessary considerations regarding the various network functionalities. In this paper, the support of secondary voice users in a CRN is investigated. First, a novel packet scheduling scheme that can provide the required quality of service (QoS) to voice users is proposed. The proposed scheme utilizes the maximum packet transmission rate for secondary voice users by assigning each secondary user the channel with the best level of quality. Furthermore, an analytical framework developed for a performance analysis of the system, is described in which the effect of erroneous spectrum sensing on the performance of secondary voice users is also taken into account. The QoS parameters of secondary voice users, which were obtained analytically, are also detailed. The analytical results were verified through the simulation, and will provide helpful insight in supporting voice services in a CRN.

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have emerged as a promising solution to the problem of spectrum under utilization and artificial radio spectrum scarcity. The paradigm of dynamic spectrum access allows a secondary network comprising of secondary users (SUs) to coexist with a primary network comprising of licensed primary users (PUs) subject to the condition that SUs do not cause any interference to the primary network. Since it is necessary for SUs to avoid any interference to the primary network, PU activity precludes attempts of SUs to access the licensed spectrum and forces frequent channel switching for SUs. This dynamic nature of CRNs, coupled with the possibility that an SU may not share a common channel with all its neighbors, makes the task of multicast routing especially challenging. In this work, we have proposed a novel multipath on-demand multicast routing protocol for CRNs. The approach of multipath routing, although commonly used in unicast routing, has not been explored for multicasting earlier. Motivated by the fact that CRNs have highly dynamic conditions, whose parameters are often unknown, the multicast routing problem is modeled in the reinforcement learning based framework of learning automata. Simulation results demonstrate that the approach of multipath multicasting is feasible, with our proposed protocol showing a superior performance to a baseline state-of-the-art CRN multicasting protocol.

인지무선네트워크(Cognitive Radio Networks, CRNs)는 네트워크 환경을 인지하고 적응적으로 운용할 수 있는 지능형 무선 네트워킹을 제공하기 위한 기술로 인지되고 있다. CRN은 FCC(Federal Communications Commission)의 최근 정책으로 인해 비인가된 사용자가 네트워크의 주사용자를 방해하지 않는 한 유휴 스펙트럼을 활용할 수 있도록 허락하는 기술이다. 그러므로 CRNs의 보안 특성은 다른 네트워크와 달라야만 한다. 본 논문의 목적은 Tsai등의 위임기반 인증 프로토콜(TDAP)로부터 CRN상의 비인가된 사용자를 위한 보안의 특성을 추출함으로서 새로운 위임기반 인증 프로토콜(NDAP)을 제안하는데 있다. 먼저 TDAP에 대한 보안분석을 제시하고 비인가 사용자 인증을 위한 프로토콜 설계 목표를 설정한다. 그런 후 TDAP에 대한 보안 해결책과 CRNs를 위한 새로운 프로토콜로서 NDAP을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 NDAP은 CRNs과 다양한 융합응용의 보안 기반 구조로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The performance of a cognitive radio network (CRN) solely depends on how precisely the secondary users can sense the presence or absence of primary users. The incorporation of a spatial false alarm makes deriving the probability of a correct decision a cumbersome task. Previous literature performed this task for the case of a received signal under a Normal probability density function case. In this paper we enhance the previous work, including the impact of carrier frequency, the gain of antennas on both sides, and antenna heights so as to observe the robustness against noise and interference and to make the correct decision of detection. Three small scale fading channels: Rayleigh, Normal, and Weibull were considered to get the real scenario of a CRN in an urban area. The incorporation of a maximal-ratio combining and selection combing with a variation of the number of received antennas have also been studied in order to achieve the correct decision of spectral sensing, so as to serve the cognitive users. Finally, we applied the above concept to a traffic model of the CRN, which we based on a two-dimensional state transition chain.

인지무선 네트워크에서 스펙트럼 센싱은 우선사용자에게 간섭을 주지 않기 위해 기본적으로 수행해야 하는 단계이다. 스펙트럼 센싱에 요구되는 샘플 수는 2차 사용자의 성능에 직접적으로 영향을 주기 때문에, 2차 사용자의 성능과 우선사용자에 대한 간섭은 트레이드오프 관계에 있다. 스펙트럼 센싱에 필요한 샘플 수는 요구되는 오검출 확률, 검출확률 및 우선 사용자의 최소 요구 SNR로 부터 얻어진다. 우선 사용자 센싱에 요구되는 SNR은 2차 사용자의 전송반경과 관련 있기 때문에, 2차사용자들을 모아 센싱집합으로 구성하고 요구되는 전송영역을 최소화시킴으로써 스펙트럼 센싱에 요구되는 우선사용자의 SNR을 완화시킬 수 있다. 따라서 스펙트럼 센싱에 필요한 최소 샘플 수를 줄임으로써 인지무선 네트워크의 전송량을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 센싱집합인 클러스터링을 통해 게임이론으로 클러스터의 크기에 따라 얻는 이득과 손실을 트레이드오프로 디자인하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인한다.

Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) is a diversity scheme used in OFDM-based telecommunication systems, transforming spatial diversity into frequency diversity and thus avoiding intersymbol interference without entailing the receiver to be aware of the transmission strategy making the signal more reliable achieving full diversity gain in cooperative systems. Here the analyzation of the influence of CDD-SC scheme in Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is done with the challenge of overcoming the complication called channel estimation along with overhead in CNR. More specifically, the closed-form expressions for outage probability and symbol error rate are divided under different frequencies among independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) frequency selective fading channel model i.e., the signal is divided into different frequencies and transmitted among several narrow band channels of different characteristics. It is useful in the reduction of interference and crosstalk. The results reveal the diversity order of the proposed system to be mainly affected by the number of multipath components that are available in the CNR.

Recent advances in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) have elevated them to the status of a critical instrument for overcoming spectrum limits and achieving severe future wireless communication requirements. Collaborative spectrum sensing is presented for efficient channel selection because spectrum sensing is an essential part of CRNs. This study presents an innovative cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) model that is built on the Firefly Algorithm (FA), as well as machine learning artificial neural networks (ANN). This system makes use of user grouping strategies to improve detection performance dramatically while lowering collaboration costs. Cooperative sensing wasn't used until after cognitive radio users had been correctly identified using energy data samples and an ANN model. Cooperative sensing strategies produce a user base that is either secure, requires less effort, or is faultless. The suggested method's purpose is to choose the best transmission channel. Clustering is utilized by the suggested ANN-FA model to reduce spectrum sensing inaccuracy. The transmission channel that has the highest weight is chosen by employing the method that has been provided for computing channel weight. The proposed ANN-FA model computes channel weight based on three sets of input parameters: PU utilization, CR count, and channel capacity. Using an improved evolutionary algorithm, the key principles of the ANN-FA scheme are optimized to boost the overall efficiency of the CRN channel selection technique. This study proposes the Artificial Neural Network with Firefly Algorithm (ANN-FA) for cognitive radio networks to overcome the obstacles. This proposed work focuses primarily on sensing the optimal secondary user channel and reducing the spectrum handoff delay in wireless networks. Several benchmark functions are utilized We analyze the efficacy of this innovative strategy by evaluating its performance. The performance of ANN-FA is 22.72 percent more robust and effective than that of the other metaheuristic algorithm, according to experimental findings. The proposed ANN-FA model is simulated using the NS2 simulator, The results are evaluated in terms of average interference ratio, spectrum opportunity utilization, three metrics are measured: packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end delay, and end-to-average throughput for a variety of different CRs found in the network.
