Cognitive radio is a paradigm for wireless communication in which either network of wireless node itself changes particular transmission or reception parameters to execute its tasks efficiently without interfering with the licensed users. This paper represents a performance of the cognitive radio technology on dual polarized MIMO system using six-port receiver. Six-port technology is well known direct conversion receiver. In this paper, a six-port phase discriminator based polarization signal separation is shown. That is, the SER(Symbol Error Rate) performance is improved using polarization separator and simple receiver architecture is proposed applying six-port receiver. The six-port technology has priority to adapt changeable frequency system and variable environments for cognitive radio. In general, dual polarized MIMO system has good capacity and quality using polarization separator [1].

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are composed of mobile users who can use multiple spectrum bands for communication. CRNs allow unlicensed users (called cognitive users) to efficiently utilize unused licensed spectrums without interfering with communications of licensed users (called primary users). The main goals of CRNs are to mitigate spectrum saturation and to improve spectrum utilization. This paper introduces state-of-the-art routing protocols for CRNs and addresses some limitations of these protocols. To resolve the limitations, we suggest a new research direction for routing protocols in CRNs. We implement our protocol to compare with the existing routing protocols for multi-hop CRNs. Our protocol shows good performance compared to the existing routing protocols in terms of network performance and PU protection.

This paper considers a wideband cognitive radio network (WCRN) which can simultaneously sense multiple narrowband channels and thus aggregate the detected available channels for transmission and studies the ergodic throughput of the WCRN that operated under: the wideband sensing-based spectrum sharing (WSSS) scheme and the wideband opportunistic spectrum access (WOSA) scheme. In our analysis, besides the average interference power constraint at PU, the average transmit power constraint of SU is also considered for the two schemes and a novel cognitive radio sensing frame that allows data transmission and spectrum sensing at the same time is utilized, and then the maximization throughput problem is solved by developing a gradient projection method. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the performance of the two proposed schemes.

The cognitive ultra-wideband (UWB) network detects interfering narrowband systems and adapts its configuration accordingly. An inherently adaptive and flexible candidate for cognitive UWB transmission is the wavelet packet multicarrier modulation (WPMCM). In this letter, we use an enhanced forward consecutive mean excision thresholding algorithm to tackle the noise uncertainty in the wavelet-based sensing of WPMCM systems, and mathematical analysis is performed for primary user channel fading. As a benchmark, we compare the proposed system with a conventional fast Fourier transformation-based system, and performance investigation proves significant improvements when primary and secondary links are subjected to multipath fading and noise.

Cognitive radio (CR) features opportunistic access to spectrum when licensed users (LU) are not operating. To avoid interference to LU, cognitive users (CU) need to perform spectrum sensing. Because of local shadowing, fading, or limited sensing capability, it is suggested that multiple CUs cooperate to detect LU. In cooperative spectrum sensing, CUs should exchange their sensing data with minimum bandwidth and delay. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to efficiently report sensing data to the central node in an infrastructured OFDM-based CR network. All CUs simultaneously report their sensing data over unique and orthogonal signals on locally available subcarriers. By detecting the signals, the central node can determine subcarrier availability for each CU. Implementation challenges are identified and then their solutions are suggested. The proposed method is evaluated through simulation on a realistic channel model. The results show that the proposed method is feasible and efficient.

This paper investigates the power allocation and outage performance of MIMO full-duplex relaying (MFDR), based on orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC), in cognitive radio systems. OSTBC transmission is used as a simple means to achieve multi-antenna diversity gain. Cognitive MFDR systems not only have the advantage of increasing spectral efficiency through spectrum sharing, but they can also extend coverage through the use of relays. In cognitive MFDR systems, the primary user experiences interference from the secondary source and relay simultaneously, owing to full duplexing. It is therefore necessary to optimize the transmission powers at the secondary source and relay. In this paper, we propose an optimal power allocation (OPA) scheme based on minimizing the outage probability in cognitive MFDR systems. We also analyse the outage probability of the secondary user in noise-limited and interference-limited environments in Nakagami-m fading channels. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve performance improvements in terms of reducing outage probability.

In wireless communication, efficient spectrum usage is an issue that has been an attractive research area for many technologies. Recently new technologies innovations allow compact radios to transmit with power efficient communication over very long distances. For example, Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are an attractive emerging platform to connect the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Especially, LoRa is one of LPWAN technologies and considered as an infrastructure solution for IoT. End-devices use LoRa protocol across a single wireless hop to communicate to gateway(s) connected to the internet which acts as a bridge and relays message between these LoRa end-devices to a central network server. The use of the (ISM) spectrum sharing for such long-range networking motivates us to implement spectrum sensing testbed for cognitive radio network based on LoRa and GNU radio. In cognitive radio (CR), secondary users (SUs) are able to sense and use this information to opportunistically access the licensed spectrum band in absence of the primary users (PUs). In general, PUs have not been very receptive of the idea of opportunistic spectrum sharing. That is, CR will harmfully interfere with operations of PUs. Subsequently, there is a need for experimenting with different techniques in a real system. In this paper, we implemented spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks based on LoRa and GNU Radio, and further analyzed corresponding performances of the implemented systems. The implementation is done using Microchip LoRa evolution kits, USRPs, and GNU radio.

CR(Cognitive Radio)은 우선 사용자 네트워크와 공존함으로써 주파수 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 기술이다. 이러한 CR 기술의 가장 우선해야 될 과제는 우선 사용자 시스템에 대한 보호이다. 이를 위해 CR 네트워크는 주기적으로 우선 사용자의 주파수 사용을 탐지하고 우선 사용자 시스템에 간섭을 주지 않기 위해 통신 파라미터를 조절하게 된다. 하지만 CR 네트워크의 특성상 스펙트럼 검출을 통해서도 발견되지 않는 우선 사용자인 HN(Hidden Node)가 존재하게 된다. 이러한 HN가 사용하는 무선 자원을 CR 네트워크에서는 유휴자원이라 판단함으로써 우선 사용자에게 간섭을 주는 문제가 발생하며, 이는 CR 네트워크의 올바른 운용을 방해하는 요인으로 작용한다. 따라서 CR 네트워크의 안전하고 올바른 운용을 위해서는 HN 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법이 절실히 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 HN 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법을 제시하며, 이에 대한 성능 평가를 수행하였다.
