Cognitive radio (CR) is proposed as a key solution to improve spectral efficiency and overcome the spectrum scarcity. Spectrum sensing is an important task in each CR system with the aim of identifying the spectrum holes and using them for secondary user's (SU) communications. Several conventional methods for spectrum sensing have been proposed such as energy detection, matched filter detection, etc. However, the main limitation of these classical methods is that the CR network is not able to communicate with its own base station during the spectrum sensing period and thus a fraction of the available primary frame cannot be exploited for data transmission. The other limitation in conventional methods is that the SU data frames should be synchronized with the primary network data frames. To overcome the above limitations, here, we propose a spectrum sensing technique based on blind source separation (BSS) that does not need time synchronization between the primary network and the CR. Moreover, by using the proposed technique, the SU can maintain its transmission with the base station even during spectrum sensing and thus higher rates are achieved by the CR network. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method outperforms the accuracy of conventional BSS-based spectrum sensing techniques.

In this paper, we propose a subcarrier allocation method and a composite linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimator to increase spectrum efficiency in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmit diversity. The pilot symbols for OFDM transmit (Alamouti) diversity are exclusively allocated in two OFDM symbols in different antennas, which causes serious degradation of spectrum efficiency. To reduce the number of pilot symbols, our subcarrier allocation method uses repetition-coded data symbols, and the proposed channel estimator maintains good bit error rate (BER) performance.

In a CR (cognitive radio) network, channel selection is one of the important issues for the efficient channel utilization. When the CR user exploits the spectrum of primary network, the interference to the primary network should be minimized. In this paper, we propose a spectrum hole prediction based channel selection scheme to minimize the interference to the primary network. To predict spectrum hole, statistic properties of primary user's traffic is used. By using the predicted spectrum hole, channel is selected and it can reduce the possibility of interference to the primary user and increase the efficiency of spectrum utilization. The performance of proposed channel selection scheme is evaluated by the computer simulation.

Cognitive Radio는 유휴 스펙트럼을 찾아 환경에 맞는 통신방식과 주파수 대역폭을 능동적으로 판단해 재활용하는 지능적인 간섭회피로 방식으로 스펙트럼을 공유하여 전파자원효율을 극대화 하는 기술이다. 이때 PU에 간섭을 일으키지 않기 위한 스펙트럼 센싱 기술이 중요하다. 하지만 상황에 따라 스펙트럼 센싱 알고리즘을 선택할수 있다면 좀더 효율적 센싱을 할수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 퍼지컨트롤러를 통해 에너지검출, 자기상관검출,M atched filter 검출 등을 개별 센싱에 반영하는 시스템 모델을 제안하고 분석한다.

무선인지(cognitive radio) 시스템은 특정 대역에 면허권을 갖는 주사용자(primary user)의 유휴 스펙트럼을 부사용자(secondary user)가 기회적으로 사용하는 것을 허용하는 것으로 주파수 부족 문제의 해결책으로 부각되고 있다. 특히, 스펙트럼 센싱(spectrum sensing) 기술은 특정 스펙트럼을 사용하고자 하는 부사용자가 주변에서 해당 스펙트럼을 사용 중인 주사용자를 검출하는 것으로 무선인지 시스템의 핵심을 이룬다. 기존의 스펙트럼 센싱 기술은 부사용자가 주사용자 송신기를 센싱하지만 부사용자가 주사용자 수신기를 센싱할 수 있다면 주사용자에 미치는 간섭을 최소화하고 스펙트럼 사용 효율을 최대화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 수신기 중심(receiver-centric) 스펙트럼 센싱 기술을 제안하고 성능 분석을 통해 기존의 송신기 중심스펙트럼 센싱 기술에 비해 주파수 효율 측면에서 성능 개선이 있음을 검증한다.

Market means of spectrum trading have been utilized as a vital method of spectrum sharing and access in future cognitive radio system. In this paper, we consider the spectrum trading with multiple primary carrier providers (PCP) leasing the spectrum to multiple secondary carrier providers (SCP) for a short period of time. Several factors including the price of the resource, duration of leasing, and the spectrum quality guides the proposed model. We formulate three trading policies based on the game theory for dynamic spectrum access in a LTE based cognitive radio system (CRS). In the first, we consider utility function based resource sharing (UFRS) without any knowledge of past transaction. In the second policy, each SCP deals with PCP using a non-cooperative resource sharing (NCRS) method which employs optimal strategy based on reinforcement learning. In variation of second policy, third policy adopts a Nash bargaining while incorporating a recommendation entity in resource sharing (RERS). The simulation results suggest overall increase in throughput while maintaining higher spectrum efficiency and fairness.

Cognitive radio is an efficient technique to improve spectrum efficiency and relieve the pressure of spectrum resources. In this paper, we investigate the spectrum sensing period in cooperative relay cognitive radio networks; analyze the relationship between the available capacity and the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal of second users, the target probability of detection and the active probability of primary users. Finally, we derive the closed form expression of the optimal spectrum sensing period in terms of maximum throughput. We simulate the probability of false alarm and available capacity of cognitive radio networks and compare optimal spectrum sensing period scheme with fixed sensing period one in these performance. Simulation results show that the optimal sensing period makes the cognitive networks achieve the higher throughput and better spectrum sensing performance than the fixed sensing period does. Cooperative relay cognitive radio networks with optimal spectrum sensing period can achieve the high capacity and steady probability of false alarm in different target probability of detection. It provides a valuable reference for choosing the optimal spectrum sensing period in cooperative relay cognitive radio networks.

In this paper, we consider cooperative D2D communications in cellular networks. More precisely, a cellular user leases part of its spectrum to facilitate the D2D communication with a goal of improving the energy efficiency of a D2D pair. However the D2D pair is untrusted to the cellular user, such resource sharing may result in the information of this cellular user unsecured. In order to motivate the cellular user's generosity, this D2D pair needs to help the cellular user maintain a target secrecy rate. To address this issue, we formulate a joint spectrum and power allocation problem to maximize the energy efficiency of the D2D communication while guaranteeing the physical layer security of the cellular user. Then, a theorem is proved to indicate the best resource allocation strategy, and accordingly, an algorithm is proposed to find the best solution to this resource allocation problem. Numerical results are finally presented to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
