Femtocell provides better coverage and higher spectrum efficiency in areas rarely covered by macrocells. However, serious two-tier interference emerging from randomly deploying femtocells may create dead zones where the service is unavailable for macro-users. In this paper, we present adopting cognitive radio spectrum overlay to avoid intra-tier interference and incorporating spectrum underlay and overlay to coordinate cross-tier interference. It is a novel centralized control strategy appropriate for both uplink and downlink transmission. We introduce the application of proper spectrum sharing strategy plus optimal power allocation to address the issue of OFDM-based femtocells interference-limited downlink transmission, along with, a low-complexity suboptimal solution proposed. Simulation results illustrate the proposed optimal scheme achieves the highest transmission rate on successfully avoiding two-tier interference, and outperforms the traditional spectrum underlay or spectrum overlay, via maximizing the opportunity to transmit. Moreover, the strength of our proposed schemes is further demonstrated by comparison with previous classic power allocation methods, in terms of transmission rate, computational complexity and signal peak-to-average power ratio.

기존에 연구된 OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 기반 다중 홉 전송망의 부반송파 페어링 방법들은 단순히 채널의 신호대잡음비(SNR)만을 고려한 것이므로, 2차 시스템의 사용으로 인해 1차 사용자에게 미치는 간섭량을 고려해야 하는 무선 인지 환경에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서, 본 논문은 OFDMA 기반의 다중 홉 무선 인지 시스템에서 1차 사용자에게 미치는 간섭을 제거하기 위해 전력제어를 수행할 경우, 감소된 수율을 향상시키기 위한 효과적인 부반송파 할당 방법에 관해 연구를 수행하였다. 간섭 채널 이득만을 고려한 IT(Interference channel gain) 방법과 채널 이득과 간섭 채널 이득의 비를 고려한 CI(Channel SNR over interference channel gain) 방법, 2가지의 부반송파 페어링 방법을 제안했으며, 모의실험을 통해 기존 방법과 성능비교를 수행하였다. 무선 인지 시스템에서 간섭 임계치를 만족시키기 위해 전력 제어가 필요한 경우에는 제안한 CI 방법이 성능이 가장 우수했으며, 기존 방법보다 최대 약 10% 이상의 수율 향상을 거두는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the optimal power allocation algorithm that minimizes the aggregate bit error rate (BER) of the secondary user (SU) in a downlink orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based cognitive radio (CR) system, while subjecting to the interference power constraint and the transmit power constraint, is investigated under the assumption that the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) of the interference links between the secondary transmitter and the primary receiver, and between the primary transmitter and the secondary receiver is perfectly known. Besides, a suboptimal algorithm with less complexity is also proposed. In order to deal with more practical situations, we further assume that only the channel distribution information (CDI) of the interference links is available and propose heuristic power allocation algorithms based on bisection search method to minimize the aggregate BER under the interference outage constraint and the transmit power constraint. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

In a multi-hop CR (Cognitive Radio) network, each node find a path to destination node through several links. If links have the same frequency channel, there can be a serious interference among the links and it can reduce the network capacity. In multi-channel CR networks, each channel has different capacity according to the inter-link interference, and each channel has different traffic properties of primary users. In this paper, we propose channel scheduling scheme to minimize channel interferences and collision with primary users. Simulation results show the improvement of channel capacity and collision rate with primary users.

In a CR (cognitive radio) network, channel selection is one of the important issues for the efficient channel utilization. When the CR user exploits the spectrum of primary network, the interference to the primary network should be minimized. In this paper, we propose a spectrum hole prediction based channel selection scheme to minimize the interference to the primary network. To predict spectrum hole, statistic properties of primary user's traffic is used. By using the predicted spectrum hole, channel is selected and it can reduce the possibility of interference to the primary user and increase the efficiency of spectrum utilization. The performance of proposed channel selection scheme is evaluated by the computer simulation.

Dynamically exploiting unused-spectrum, cognitive radio has been proposed to solve spectrum utilization problem. In cognitive radio, it is important to minimize the interference to primary service as well as to provide efficient channel allocation. In this paper, we propose a multi-channel allocation scheme based on spectrum hole prediction. Proposed scheme considered both interference length and channel capacity to limit the interference to primary user as well as to enhance system performance. Simulation results show the proposed scheme improves the system throughput.

The definition of the bandwidth efficiency (BE) of cognitive cooperative network (CCN) is the ratio between a number of the licensed slot(s) or sub-channel(s) used by the unlicensed users to transmit a single data packet from the unlicensed transmitter to unlicensed destination, and from unlicensed relay(s) to unlicensed destination. This paper analyzes and improves the BE in the underlay CCN with a new reactive relay selection under interference and power constraints. In other words, this paper studies how unlicensed cooperative users use the licensed network slot(s) or sub-channel(s) efficiently. To this end, a reactive relay selection method named as Relay Automatic Repeat Request (RARQ) is proposed and utilized with a CCN under interference and power constraints. It is shown that the BE of CCN is higher than that of cooperative transmission (CT) due to the interference and power constraint. Furthermore, the BE of CCN is affected by the distance of the interference links which are between the unlicensed transmitter to the licensed destination and unlicensed relay to the licensed destination. In addition, the BE for multiple relays selection over a CCN under interference and power constraints is also analyzed and studied, and it is shown that the BE of CCN decreases as the number of relays increases.

Mobility can lead to continual loss of data and service interruptions during communications in multi-hop cognitive radio networks. Mobility of primary users (PUs) or cognitive users (CUs) requires adjustment of multi-hop communications among CUs to avoid any interference to PUs. To provide durable and reliable data routing that ensures continuous network service, we propose mobility-aware cognitive routing (MCR) for multi-hop cognitive radio networks. MCR examines the risk level of each node against interference regions and selects the most reliable path for data delivery using a Markov predictor. Through simulation, we verify that the proposed scheme can avoid route destruction preemptively and achieve reliable data delivery.

Cognitive Radio 환경에서 서비스영역 밖에 있는 사용자는 통신을 하지 못하도록 규정을 하고 있다. 그 이유는 주사용자가 서비스를 제공받는데 피해나 간섭의 영향을 대비하기 위해서이다. 이와 같은 규정이 보장된다면, CR 사용자는 서비스 영역 밖에서도 충분히 서비스를 제공받을 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 주 사용자에게 과도한 간섭을 발생시키지 않는 실용적 시스템에 대한 논의, 즉, 제안된 기법을 통해 부사용자를 위한 가능한 이득이 주사용자에게 비간섭이 되는 사항에 중점을 둔다. 본 논문에서는 그 방법을 BBA(Bi-directional Beamforming Antenna), 즉 지향성 양방향 안테나를 이용하여 제시한다.
