In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), hybrid overlay and underlay sharing transmission mode is an effective technique for improving the efficiency of radio spectrum. Unlike existing works in the literature, where only one secondary user (SU) uses overlay and underlay modes, the different transmission modes should be allocated to different SUs, according to their different quality of services (QoS), to achieve the maximal efficiency of radio spectrum. However, hybrid sharing mode allocation for heterogeneous services is still a challenge in CRNs. In this paper, we propose a new resource allocation method for hybrid sharing transmission mode of overlay and underlay (HySOU), to achieve more potential resources for SUs to access the spectrum without interfering with the primary users. We formulate the HySOU resource allocation as a mixed-integer programming problem to optimize the total system throughput, satisfying heterogeneous QoS. To decrease the algorithm complexity, we divide the problem into two sub-problems: subchannel allocation and power allocation. Cutset is used to achieve the optimal subchannel allocation, and the optimal power allocation is obtained by Lagrangian dual function decomposition and subgradient algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm further improves spectrum utilization with a simultaneous fairness guarantee, and the achieved HySOU diversity gain is a satisfactory improvement.

현재 IEEE 802.22에서는 스펙트럼 사용 효율을 높이고 새로운 무선 통신 서비스 도입을 용이하게 하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한 TV 대역을 대상으로 주파수를 공유하고자 하는 Cognitive Radio를 적용한 WRAN 시스템에 대한 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 WRAN 시스템에서의 주파수 효율과 채널 용량을 극대화하구 인접 셀 간 간섭을 최소화할 수 있도록 하는 효율적인 주파수 할당 기법과 최적 전력 제어 기법인 PCPWF(Partial Constant Power Water Filling)을 제시하였다. 또한 제안된 동적 셀 설계(dynamic cell plan)를 통해 가용할 수 있는 채널을 효율적으로 할당하여 전체 시스템의 데이터 처리율(throughput)과 형평성을 극대화하였으며, 제안된 기법의 효용성을 검증하기 위해서 시뮬레이션 결과도 수록하였다.

유비쿼터스 사회가 도래함에 따라 모든 사회가 무선통신과 밀접한 연관성을 가지게 되었다. 하지만 늘어나는 주파수 수요는 주파수 자원의 고갈을 야기하였다. 이와 같이 주파 주파수 자원의 중요성이 부각되어 주파수 공유 기술이 필요하게 되었다. 제안한 Cognitive UWB 시스템은 넓은 주파수 대역을 사용하는 UWB(Ultra Wideband) 기술과 채널 환경을 인지하여 사용하지 않는 비어있는 주파수 대역을 이용하는 CR(Cognitive Radio) 기술이 합해진 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 Cognitive UWB 시스템의 세부 기술을 설명하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 원하는 마스크를 충족시키고 타 시스템의 간섭을 회피하여 성능향상을 보였다.

For alleviating the low spectrum efficiency problem of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), due to the strong inter-cell-interference (ICI) at cell's edge, we introduce comb-spectrum code division multiple access (CS-CDMA) into broadband OFDM system at downlink channel for enabling the use of entire spectrum for seamless coverage. In addition, we develop a new method, called orthogonal cell code (OCC) scheme, to assist CS-CDMA for nullifying the ICI from contiguous cells. In system operation, each of the conventional cells is divided into an outer cell and an inner cell, and a mobile station (MS) should access to the CS-CDMA when it is in the outer cell and access to OFDM when it is in the inner cell. This study investigates the spectrum efficiency of using CS-CDMA and makes a comparison with that of long term evolution (LTE) in the following cases; (1) under an assumption of perfect channel state information and (2) based on channel estimates at a MS station. The results show the great advantage of utilizing the proposed system.

Reducing the interference to the licensed mobile users and obtaining the energy efficiency are key issues in cognitive heterogeneous networks. A corresponding rate loss constraint is proposed to be used for the sensing-based spectrum sharing (SBSS) model in cognitive heterogeneous networks in this paper. Resource allocation optimization strategy is designed for the maximum energy efficiency under the proposed interference constraint together with average transmission power constraint. An efficiency algorithm is studied to maximize energy efficiency due to the nonconvex optimal problem. Furthermore, the relationship between the proposed protection criterion and the conventional interference constraint strategy under imperfect sensing condition for the SBSS model is also investigated, and we found that the conventional interference threshold can be regarded as the upper bound of the maximum rate loss that the primary user could tolerate. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed protection criterion overcome the conventional interference power constraint.

Background: Gamma-ray detectors having a thin window of a material with low atomic number can increase the true coincidence summing effects for radionuclides emitting X-rays or gamma-rays. This effect can make efficiency calibration or spectrum analysis more complicated. In this study, a Cu shield was tested as an X-ray filter to neglect the true coincidence summing effect by X-rays and gamma-rays in gamma-ray spectrometry, in order to simplify gamma-ray energy spectrum analysis. Materials and Methods: A Cu shield was designed and applied to an n-type high-purity germanium detector having an $X-{\gamma}$ summing effect during efficiency calibration. This was tested using a commercial, certified mixed gamma-ray source. The feasibility of a Cu shield was evaluated by comparing efficiency calibration results with and without the shield. Results and Discussion: In this study, the thickness of a Cu shield needed to avoid true coincidence summing effects due to $X-{\gamma}$ was tested and determined to be 1 mm, considering the detection efficiency desired for higher energy. As a result, the accuracy of the detection efficiency calibration was improved by more than 13% by reducing $X-{\gamma}$ summing. Conclusion: The $X-{\gamma}$ summing effect should be considered, along with ${\gamma}-{\gamma}$ summing, when a detection efficiency calibration is implemented and appropriate shielding material can be useful for simplifying analysis of the gamma-ray energy spectra.

전파이용 기술의 발전 및 관련 서비스의 다양화로 전파 자원의 희소성이 높아질수록 주파수 자원 배분은 효율성과 형평성을 제고할 필요성은 높아진다. 개방형 전파 사용 정책은 다양한 의미를 포함하는데, 타인의 이용을 배제하지 않고 누구나 사용할 수 있도록 하는 주파수 공유(spectrum commons)를 의미하는 경우 전파이용의 형평성과 효율성이 증진되고, 나아가 기존의 이용자들이 있는 경우에도 이를 방해하지 않는 범위에서 세분화된 이용권을 설정함으로써 다른 이용자들의 사용에 개방하는 것을 의미하는 경우에도 역시 효율성과 형평성을 제고할 수 있다. 개방형 전파 사용을 위해서는 기술 발전이 우선되어야 하지만, 전파 사용 질서를 형성하는 전파법 제도가 이러한 개방형 전파 사용을 허용하고, 그로부터 발생하는 분쟁을 사전에 예방하고 신속히 조정할 수 있는 메카니즘을 마련하는 등 이를 뒷받침할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 그러한 법제적 조치의 필요성을 주파수 공동사용의 허용, 개시, 관리, 해소의 단계마다 검토하고 기본적인 정비방향을 제시하고 있다.

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.
