Cognitive radio (CR) MAC protocol provides access control of unused spectrum resources without causing interference to primary users. To achieve this goal, in this paper a TDMA based cooperative multi-channel cognitive radio MAC (MCR-MAC) protocol is proposed for wireless ad hoc networks to provide reliable protection for primary users by achieving cooperative detection of incumbent system signals around the communication pair. Each CR node maintains transmission opportunity schedules and a list of available channels that is employed in the neighbor discovery period. To avoid possible signal collision between incumbent systems and cognitive radio ad hoc users, we propose a simple but efficient emergency notification message exchanging mechanism between neighbor CR nodes with little overhead. Our simulation results show that the proposed MCR-MAC can greatly reduce interference with primary users and remarkably improve the network throughput.

Cooperative spectrum sensing increases the detection performance in a cognitive radio network, based on the number of sensing nodes. However, as the number of sensing nodes increases, the reporting overhead linearly increases. This paper proposes two kinds of cooperative spectrum sensing with limited reporting in a centralized cognitive radio network, a soft combination with threshold-based reporting (SC-TR) and a soft combination with contention-based reporting (SC-CR). In the proposed SC-TR scheme, each sensing node reports its sensing result to the fusion center through its own reporting channel only if the observed energy value is higher than a decision threshold. In the proposed SC-CR scheme, sensing nodes compete to report their sensing results via shared reporting channels. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes significantly reduce the reporting overhead without sacrificing the detection performance too much.

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.

본 논문에서는 셀룰러 기반 무선 인지망에서 핸드오프 호를 위한 가드채널할당기법(guard channel scheme)의 자원이용률의 저하를 개선하기 위해 무선인지 기술을 사용하여 자원 이용률을 향상시키면서, 무선 인지망의 부 사용자(cognitive radio user) 손실률을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 핸드오프 호의 전용채널(guard channel)을 부 사용자가 이용하도록 하고, MMOSPRED(Multi-Media One Step Prediction)기법으로 핸드오프 호의 발생을 예측한 다음, 핸드오프 호가 발생하면 핸드오프 호의 전용채널을 넘겨주고, 부 사용자는 예약된 자원으로 스펙트럼 핸드오프를 하여 서비스를 완료 하도록 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 제안한 기법의 자원 이용률과 부 사용자의 손실률에 대한 성능이 기존의 가드채널 할당기법과 모바일의 이동성을 예측하지 않은 채널할당기법 보다 우수함을 보인다.

최근 FCC(Federal Communications Commission)에서는 통신 채널의 부족을 극복하기 위해 기존의 허가된 사용자의 무선 주파수에 대한 비 허가 사용자의 사용을 고려하고 있다. 이에 채널을 실시간으로 감지하고 선택하는 CR의 개념이 도입되어 IEEE 802.22 WRAN(Wireless Regional Area Networks) 워킹 그룹에서 CR(Cognitive Radio)의 기술개발을 진행 중에 있다. CR의 기술을 사용함에 있어서 채널을 선택하는 기준에 따라 네트워크의 통신 효율에 상당한 영향을 미치기 때문에 최적의 채널을 선택하는 방법이 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효율적인 통신을 위해 무선인지 기술 기반의 정책에 따른 동적 채널 선택 구조(Policy-based Dynamic Channel Selection Architecture for Cognitive Radio Network)를 제안한다. 제안하는 동적 주파수 선택 방법에는 가중치 채널 선택 방법(weighted channel selection)과 순차적 채널 선택 방법(sequential channel selection)곡 혼합 채널 선택 방법(combined channel selection)의 세 가지 방법이 있으며 제안하는 방법을 사용함으로써 최적의 채널 리스트를 구성해 줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 동적으로 채널을 할당해 줄 수 있다.

The Cognitive radio (CR) is evolving technology for managing the spectrum bandwidth in wireless network. The security plays a vital role in wireless network where the secondary users are trying to access the primary user's bandwidth. During the allocation the any malicious user either he pretends to be primary user or secondary user to access the vital information's such as credentials, hacking the key, network jam, user overlapping etc. This research paper discusses on various types of attack and to prevent the attack in cognitive radio network. In this research, secondary users are identified by the primary user to access the primary network by the secondary users. The secondary users are given authorization to access the primary network. If any secondary user fails to provide the authorization, then that user will be treated as the malicious user. In this paper two approaches are suggested one by applying elliptic curve cryptography and the other method by using priority-based service access.

In cognitive radio (CR) systems, cognitive users can use the frequency bands when the primary users are not present. Hence, reliable detection of available spectrum is foundation of cognitive radio technology. To ensure unimpaired operation of primary users, cooperative spectrum sensing is needed. To reduce the network overhead of cooperative spectrum sensing, a novel cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm based on credibility is proposed. In particular, the close-form expressions for probability of detection and false-alarm are derived for the novel algorithm, and expression for the average overhead used for cooperation is given. The thresholds design method for the algorithm is also discussed. The conclusion is proved by computer simulations.

We consider a system where a licensed radio spectrum is shared by multiple primary users(PUs) and secondary users(SUs). As the spectrum of interest is licensed to primary network, power and channel allocation must be carried out within the cognitive radio network so that no excessive interference is caused to PUs. For this system, we study the joint beamforming and power allocation problem via game theory in this paper. The problem is formulated as a non-cooperative beamforming and power allocation game, subject to the interference constraints of PUs as well as the peak transmission power constraints of SUs. We design a joint beamforming and power allocation algorithm for maximizing the total throughput of SUs, which is implemented by alternating iteration of minimum mean square error based decision feedback beamforming and a best response based iterative power allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the algorithm has better performance than an existing algorithm and can converge to a locally optimal sum utility.

With the increasing number of the wireless and mobile networks, the way that people use the Internet has changed substantively. Wireless multimedia services, such as wireless video streaming, mobile video game, and mobile voice over IP, will become the main applications of the future wireless Internet. To accommodate the growing volume of wireless data traffic and multimedia services, cognitive radio (CR) and Information-Centric Network (ICN) have been proposed to maximize the utilization of wireless spectrum and improve the network performance. Although CR and ICN have high potential significance for the future wireless Internet, few studies have been conducted on collaborative operations of CR and ICN. Due to the lack of infrastructure support in multi-hop ad hoc CR networks, the problem is more challenging for video streaming services. In this paper, we propose a Cross-layer Video Streaming Mechanism (CLISM) for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Information Centric Networks (CRAH-ICNs). The CLISM included two distributed schemes which are designed for the forwarding nodes and receiving nodes in CRAH-ICNs. With the cross-layer approach, the CLISM is able to self-adapt the variation of the link conditions without the central network controller. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CLISM efficiently adjust video transmission policy under various network conditions.
