With the rapid development of wireless communication, the confliction between the scarce frequency resources and the low spectral efficiency caused by the stationary spectrum sharing strategies seriously restricts the evolution of the future mobile communication. For this purpose, cognitive radio (CR) emerges as one of the most promising inventions which can overcome the spectrum shortage. As the key technology and main objective of CR, spectrum sharing can make full use of the limited spectrum, alleviate the scarcity of frequency resources and improve the system utilities, playing thereby an important role in improving the system performance of cognitive radio networks (CRNs). In this survey, the spectrum sharing in CRNs is discussed in terms of the sharing process, mainstream sharing technologies and spectrum sharing models. In particular, comparisons of different spectrum sharing strategies are concluded, as well as that of different spectrum sensing schemes in sharing procedure. Moreover, some application examples of the spectrum sharing in CRNs, such as smart grid, public safety, cellular network and medical body area networks are also introduced. In addition, our previous related works are presented and the open research issues in the field of spectrum sharing are stated as well.

최근 주파수 지원의 효율적 사용에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 Cognitive Radio가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 기존에는 Cognitive Radio의 이기적 공생방식과 비이기적 공생방식을 이용하여 시스템 용량을 향상하는 방안이 제안되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 OFDMA 기반의 CR 네트워크에서 효율적인 부반송파 할당을 통한 시스템 용량 극대화를 제안한다. 또한 하나의 Primary 사용자가 존재하는 네트워크를 다수의 Primary 사용자가 존재하는 네트워크로 확장하여 극대화 방안을 적용하는 방안과 그 영향을 분석한다.

Spectrum sharing in centrally controlled cognitive radio (CR) networks has been widely studied, however, research on channel access for distributively controlled individual cognitive users has not been fully characterized. This paper conducts an analysis of random channel access of cognitive users controlled in a distributed manner in a CR network. Based on the proposed estimation method, each cognitive user can estimate the current channel condition by using its own Markov-chain model and can compute its own blocking probability, collision probability, and forced termination probability. Using the proposed scheme, CR with distributed control (CR-DC), CR devices can make self-controlled decisions based on the status estimations to adaptively control its system parameters to communicate better.

In this paper, we investigated the throughput of a cognitive radio network where two primary frequency channels (PCs) are sensed and opportunistically accessed by N secondary users. The sharing sensing member (SSM) protocol is introduced to sense both PCs simultaneously. According to the SSM protocol, N SUs (Secondary User) are divided into two groups, which allows for the simultaneous sensing of two PCs. With a frame structure, after determining whether the PCs are idle or active during a sensing slot, the SUs may use the remaining time to transmit their own data. The throughput of the network is formulated as a convex optimization problem. We then evaluated an iterative algorithm to allocate the optimal sensing time, fusion rule and the number of members in each group. The computer simulation and numerical results show that the proposed optimal allocation improves the throughput of the SU under a misdetection constraint to protect the PCs. If not, its initial date of receipt shall be nullified.

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered one of the most promising next-generation communication systems; it has the ability to sense and make use of vacant channels that are unused by licensed users. Reliable detection of the licensed users' signals is an essential element for a CR network. Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is able to offer better sensing performance as compared to individual sensing. The presence of malicious users who falsify sensing data can severely degrade the sensing performance of the CSS scheme. In this paper, we investigate a secure CSS scheme, based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KL-divergence) theory, in order to identify malicious users and mitigate their harmful effect on the sensing performance of CSS in a CR network. The simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

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 cognitive radio ad hoc networks, secondary users need to exchange control information before data transmission. This task is not trivial in cognitive radio networks due to the dynamic nature of environment. This problem is sometime called rendezvous problem of cognitive radio network. The rendezvous problem is normally tackled by using two famous approaches: the use of common control channel (CCC) and using channel hopping (a.k.a sequence-based protocols). However, these two famous solutions form a vicious cycle while solving the rendezvous problem. The main purpose of this paper is to point out how and why this vicious cycle is formed.

Spectrum sensing is a key component of cognitive radio. The prediction of the primary user status in a low signal-to-noise ratio is an important factor in spectrum sensing. However, because of noise uncertainty, secondary users have difficulty distinguishing between the primary signal and an unauthorized signal when an unauthorized user exists in a cognitive radio network. To resolve the sensitivity to the noise uncertainty problem, we propose an entropy-based spectrum sensing scheme to detect the primary signal accurately in the presence of an unauthorized signal. The proposed spectrum sensing uses the conditional entropy between the primary signal and the unauthorized signal. The ability to detect the primary signal is thus robust against noise uncertainty, which leads to superior sensing performance in a low signal-to-noise ratio. Simulation results show that the proposed spectrum sensing scheme outperforms the conventional entropy-based spectrum sensing schemes in terms of the primary user detection probability.
