In recent years, the Television White Space (TVWS) has attracted the interest of many researchers due to its propagation characteristics obtainable between 470MHz and 790MHz spectrum bands. The plenty of unused channels in the TV spectrum allows the secondary users (SUs) to use the channels for broadband services especially in rural areas. However, when the number of SUs increases in the TVWS wireless network the aggregate interference also increases. Aggregate interferences are the combined harmful interferences that can include both co-channel and adjacent interferences. The aggregate interference on the side of Primary Users (PUs) has been extensively scrutinized. Therefore, resource allocation (power and spectrum) is crucial when designing the TVWS network to avoid interferences from Secondary Users (SUs) to PUs and among SUs themselves. This paper proposes a model to improve the resource allocation for reducing the aggregate interface among SUs for broadband services in rural areas. The proposed model uses joint power and spectrum hybrid Firefly algorithm (FA), Genetic algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) which is considered the Co-channel interference (CCI) and Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI). The algorithm is integrated with the admission control algorithm so that; there is a possibility to remove some of the SUs in the TVWS network whenever the SINR threshold for SUs and PU are not met. We considered the infeasible system whereby all SUs and PU may not be supported simultaneously. Therefore, we proposed a joint spectrum and power allocation with an admission control algorithm whose better complexity and performance than the ones which have been proposed in the existing algorithms in the literature. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared using the metrics such as sum throughput, PU SINR, algorithm running time and SU SINR less than threshold and the results show that the PSOFAGA with ELGR admission control algorithm has best performance compared to GA, PSO, FA, and FAGAPSO algorithms.

Spectrum leasing for cognitive radio (CR) networks is an effective way to improve the spectrum utilization. This paper presents an opportunistic relaying based spectrum leasing for CR networks where the primary users lease their frequency band to the cognitive users. The cognitive users act as relays for the primary users to improve the channel capacity, and this improved capacity is used for the transmission of secondary users' data. We show that the cognitive users can use a significant portion of the communication resource of primary networks while maintaining a fixed target data rate for the primary users. Moreover, the primary network is also benefited by the cooperating cognitive users in terms of outage probability. Information theoretic analysis and simulation results are presented to evaluate the performances of both primary and cognitive networks.

Femtocells provide high quality indoor communications with low transmit power. However, when femtocells are applied in cellular systems, a co-channel interference problem between macrocells and femtocells occurs because femtocells use the same spectrum as do the macrocells. To solve the co-channel interference problem, a previous study suggested a resource allocation scheme in LTE cellular systems using FFR. However, this conventional resource allocation scheme still has interference problems between macrocells and femtocells near the boundary of the sub-areas. In this paper, we define an optimization problem for resource allocation to femtocells and propose a femtocell resource allocation scheme to solve the optimization problem and the interference problems of the conventional scheme. The evaluation of the proposed scheme is conducted by System Level Simulation while varying the simulation environments. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional scheme and that it improves the overall performance of cellular systems.

본 논문은 무선인지시스템이 갖는 얼랑 용량을 분석하였다. 무선 인지 사용자들의 신규 호 및 스펙트럼 핸드오프를 요청하는 호들에 대해 버퍼를 사용하는 무선 자원 관리 기법을 고려하였으며, 성능 분석을 위해 마르코프(Markov) 모델을 사용하였다. 이를 기반으로 무선 인지 시스템에서 기사용자 및 무선 인지 사용자가 겪는 호 차단(call blocking) 확률, 강제 호 종료(forced call termination) 확률, 호 서비스 비완료(non-completion) 확률 등을 유도하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 버퍼의 크기가 증가함에 따라, 인지 무선 시스템에서 수용될 수 있는 얼랑 용량 또한 증가함을 보였다.

This paper addresses the resource allocation (RA) problem in multi-cell cognitive radio networks. Besides the interference power threshold to limit the interference on primary users PUs caused by cognitive users CUs, a proportional fairness constraint is used to guarantee fairness among multiple cognitive cells and the impact of imperfect spectrum sensing is taken into account. Additional constraints in typical real communication scenarios are also considered-such as a transmission power constraint of the cognitive base stations, unique subcarrier allocation to at most one CU, and others. The resulting RA problem belongs to the class of NP-hard problems. A computationally efficient optimal algorithm cannot therefore be found. Consequently, we propose a suboptimal RA algorithm composed of two modules: a subcarrier allocation module implemented by the immune algorithm, and a power control module using an improved sub-gradient method. To further enhance algorithm performance, these two modules are executed successively, and the sequence is repeated twice. We conduct extensive simulation experiments, which demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms existing algorithms.

Intercell interference coordination (ICIC) is considered as a promising technique to increase the spectral efficiency of OFDMA cellular systems. The soft frequency reuse (SFR) and fractional frequency reuse (FFR) are representative and efficient management techniques for ICIC. Herein, to enhance the performance of the SFR scheme, we propose a call admission (CAC) scheme. In this CAC scheme, called Spectrum handoff-SFR(S-SFR), the spectrum handoff technique is applied to the user equipment (UE) located near the cell center. We derive the traffic analysis model to describe the S-SFR. In addition, a two-dimensional (2-D) Markov chain and an outage analysis are used in our analytical model. From the traffic analysis, the significant performance measures are the outage probability, call blocking probability, system throughput and resource utilization. Based on those, the outage probability and system throughput are obtained using resource utilization as an interference pattern. The analytical results are verified with computer simulation results. Finally, we compare our proposed scheme with other ICI schemes.

Cognitive radio (CR) technology is an effective solution to the spectrum scarcity issue. Collaborative spectrum sensing is known as a promising technique to improve the performance of spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, collaborative spectrum sensing is vulnerable to spectrum data falsification (SSDF) attack, where malicious users (MUs) may send false sensing data to mislead other secondary users (SUs) to make an incorrect decision about primary user (PUs) activity, which is one of the key adversaries to the performance of CRNs. In this paper, we propose a coalition based malicious users detection (CMD) algorithm to detect the malicious user in CRNs. The proposed CMD algorithm can efficiently detect MUs base on the Geary'C theory and be modeled as a coalition formation game. Specifically, SSDF attack is one of the key issues to affect the resource allocation process. Focusing on the security issues, in this paper, we analyze the power allocation problem with MUs, and propose MUs detection based power allocation (MPA) algorithm. The MPA algorithm is divided into two steps: the MUs detection step and the optimal power allocation step. Firstly, in the MUs detection step, by the CMD algorithm we can obtain the MUs detection probability and the energy consumption of MUs detection. Secondly, in the optimal power allocation step, we use the Lagrange dual decomposition method to obtain the optimal transmission power of each SU and achieve the maximum utility of the whole CRN. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed CMD and MPA scheme can achieve a considerable performance improvement in MUs detection and power allocation.

With the appearance of wireless spectrum crisis in traditional cellular network, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been regarded as a promising solution to ease heavy traffic burden by enabling precise content delivery among mobile users. However, due to the channel sharing, the interference between D2D and cellular users can affect the transmission rate and narrow the throughput in the network. In this paper, we firstly present a weighted interference minimization cluster formation model involving both social attribute and physical closeness. The weighted-interference, which is evaluated under the susceptible-infected(SI) model, is utilized to gather user in social and physical proximity. Then, we address the cluster formation problem via spectrum clustering with iterative operation. Finally, we propose the stable matching theory algorithm in order to maximize rate oriented to accomplish the one-to-one resource allocation. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme acquires quite well clustering effect and increases the accumulative transmission rate compared with the other two advanced schemes.

경제적 가치가 급증하고 있는 주파수자원은 희소성으로 인하여 효율적으로 배분하는 것이 전파관리의 중요한 과제가 되고 있다. 특히, 지나치게 높은 수준의 주파수 할당대가는 초기 투자비용을 증대시켜 경쟁력 있는 시장 형성과 원활한 서비스 제공을 저해하는 요소가 되며, 이에 따라 소요되는 비용은 소비자 요금으로 부당하게 부과될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주파수 이용대가를 국가별로 비교하여 현재 우리나라의 주파수 할당대가 수준을 분석한다. 세계적으로 주파수 할당대가의 산정방법은 3세대 이동통신(3G 서비스, IMT-2000)의 사업자 선정을 기준으로 판단할 때 비교심사제도와 경매제도로 나누어 진행되어오고 있으며, 방법에 따라 주파수 이용대가의 결과는 다양하게 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 ITU, OVUM 등의 자료를 바탕으로 27개 국의 3G 서비스 주파수 할당대가 산정 결과를 정리한다. 또한 주파수 할당대가 산정 시 영향을 미치는 요인을 관련 선행연구를 토대로 선정하여 회귀분석을 실시한다.
