In this paper, we present a novel approach to analyze the throughput of direct-sequence spread spectrum multiple access (DS/SSMA) unslotted ALOHA system. In the unslotted system, the departure rate of interfering transmissions is proportional to the number of current interferers that can be regarded as the system state. In order to model this state-dependency, we introduce a two-dimensional state transition model that describes the state transition of the system. This model provides a more rigorous analysis tool for the DS/SSMA unslotted ALOHA systems with both fixed and variable packet lengths. Numerical results reveal that this analysis yields an accurate system performance that coincides with the simulation results. Throughout the analysis we have discovered that the state-dependency of the departure rate causes interference averaging effect in the unslotted system and that this effect yields a higher throughput for the unslotted system than for the slotted system when supported by a strong channel coding.

In this research, we study the problem of opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) in a time-varying environment with fading channels, where the channel state is characterized by both channel quality and the occupancy of primary users (PUs). First, a finite-state Markov channel model is introduced to represent a fading channel. Second, by probing channel quality and exploring the activities of PUs jointly, a two-dimensional partially observable Markov decision process framework is proposed for OSA. In addition, a greedy strategy is designed, where a secondary user selects a channel that has the best-expected data transmission rate to maximize the instantaneous reward in the current slot. Compared with the optimal strategy that considers future reward, the greedy strategy brings low complexity and relatively ideal performance. Meanwhile, the spectrum sensing error that causes the collision between a PU and a secondary user (SU) is also discussed. Furthermore, we analyze the multiuser situation in which the proposed single-user strategy is adopted by every SU compared with the previous one. By observing the simulation results, the proposed strategy attains a larger throughput than the previous works under various parameter configurations.

3GPP LTE의 비면허대역 솔루션인 Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) 기술은 Listen-Before-Talk (LBT)을 수행한다. 이는 Wi-Fi와의 공존을 위해 Wi-Fi의 백오프 기법과 매우 유사하게 설계되었다. 하지만, Wi-Fi의 백오프 기법은 기존 장치와의 호환 및 공존을 위해 오래된 설계에 기반하고 있어, LAA의 LBT 또한 스펙트럼 이용에 있어 비효율성을 보인다. 만약 근처에 Wi-Fi 시스템이 없는 환경이라면 LAA는 보다 효율적인 LBT를 수행할 수 있다. 이 논문은 협대역 전송을 위한 Narrowband Clear Channel Assessment (NCCA)를 제안한다. NCCA에서 LAA 기지국은 광대역 또는 각 협대역 밴드에서 LBT를 수행한다. 이를 통해, 복수의 LAA 노드가 서로 다른 협대역에서 동시에 전송할 수 있게 한다. NCCA 구현을 위해 네 가지의 설계안을 제시하고, 성능 예측을 위한 수학 모델을 제시한다. 기존 광대역 시스템과 공존하는 시나리오에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 NCCA의 공존 성능과 제시한 성능 모델의 정확성을 보인다.

This paper investigates the channel selection problem with dynamic users and the asymmetric interference relation in distributed opportunistic spectrum access systems. Since users transmitting data are based on their traffic demands, they dynamically compete for the channel occupation. Moreover, the heterogeneous interference range leads to asymmetric interference relation. The dynamic users and asymmetric interference relation bring about new challenges such as dynamic random systems and poor fairness. In this article, we will focus on maximizing the tradeoff between the achievable utility and access cost of each user, formulate the channel selection problem as a directional graphical game and prove it as an exact potential game presenting at least one pure Nash equilibrium point. We show that the best NE point maximizes both the personal and system utility, and employ the stochastic learning approach algorithm for achieving the best NE point. Simulation results show that the algorithm converges, presents near-optimal performance and good fairness, and the directional graphical model improves the systems throughput performance in different asymmetric level systems.

Cognitive Radio(CR) is the technology that allocates the frequency by using dynamic spectrum access. We proposed a model to calculate the optimal level of the cognitive radiotelegraph, where secondary users opportunistically share the spectrum with primary users through the spectrum sensing. When secondary user with cognitive radio detects the arrival of a primary user in its current channel, the secondary user moves to the idle channel or be placed in the virtual queue. We assume that the primary users have finite buffers and the population of secondary users is finite. Using a two-dimensional Makov model with preemptive priority queueing, we could derive the blocking and waiting probability as well as the optimal level of cognitive radiotelegraph under a various range of parameter circumstances.

To enable the coexistence of Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) and Wi-Fi in 5 GHz unlicensed bands, a new channel access mechanism is proposed. Accounting for the fairness between LAA and Wi-Fi, the proposed mechanism finds the optimal transmission time ratio by adaptively adjusting the transmission durations for LAA and Wi-Fi. In addition, we propose a new analytical model for the distributed coordination function of IEEE 802.11 through some modifications of conventional analytical models for saturation and non-saturation loads. By computing the activity ratio of Wi-Fi, the proposed analytical model is able to control the time ratio between LAA and Wi-Fi, which is required for practical implementation of the proposed access mechanism. Through numerical simulations, the proposed channel access mechanism is compared with conventional methods in terms of throughput and utility.

CDMA는 여러 사용자가 시간과 주파수를 공유하면서 각 사용자에게 확산코드라고 하는 서로 다른 의사잡음수열(pseudonoise sequence)을 할당한다. 각 사용자는 할당된 확산코드를 이용하여 송신할 신호를 변조한다. 신호를 변조하는데 사용하는 코드를 선택하는 것은 CDMA 시스템의 수행능력을 결정하는 데 있어 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 품질이 좋은 수열은 사용자들 사이의 신호들의 간섭을 줄이고 신호를 잘 복호할 수 있도록 하기 때문이다. 수신자는 데이터를 복호하기 위해 수신된 부호를 동기화한다. 서로 독립인 코드를 사용하는 것은 동시 다중접속을 가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 확산 스펙트럼 통신에서 다중접속 충돌을 최소화하고, 시스템의 보안을 증가시키고 사용자의 수를 늘이는데 도움을 주는 비선형 수열을 생성하고 상호상관관계를 분석한다.

Spectrum sensing is an important functionality for cognitive users to look for spectrum holes before taking transmission in dynamic spectrum access model. Unlike previous works that assume perfect knowledge of the SNR of the signal received from the primary user, in this paper we consider a realistic case where the SNR of the primary user's signal is unknown to both fusion center and cognitive radio terminals. A Kalman filter based adaptive Takagi and Sugeno's fuzzy system is designed to make the global spectrum sensing decision based on the observed energies from cognitive users. With the capacity of adapting system parameters, the fusion center can make a global sensing decision reliably without any requirement of channel state information, prior knowledge and prior probabilities of the primary user's signal. Numerical results prove that the sensing performance of the proposed scheme outperforms the performance of the equal gain combination based scheme, and matches the performance of the optimal soft combination scheme.

Cognitive radio (CR) has been recently proposed to dynamically access unused-spectrum. Since the spectrum availability for opportunistic access is determined by spectrum sensing, sensing control is identified as one of the most crucial issues of cognitive radio networks. Out-of-band sensing to find an available channels to sense. Sensing is also required in case of spectrum hand-off. Sensing process needs to be done very fast in order to enhance the quality of service (QoS) of the CR nodes, and transmission not to be cut for longer time. During the sensing, the PU(primary user) detection probability condition should be satisfied. We adopt a channel prediction method to find target channels. Proposed prediction method combines chaotic global method and chaotic local method for channel idle probability prediction. Global method focus on channel history information length and order number of prediction model. Local method focus on local prediction trend. Through making simulation, Proposed method can find an available channel with very high probability, total sensing time is minimized, detection probability of PU's are satisfied.
