Increasing convergence among heterogeneous radio networks is expected to be a key feature of future ubiquitous services. The convergence of radio networks in combination with dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA) could be a beneficial means to solve the growing demand for radio spectrum. DSA might enhance the spectrum utilization of involved radio networks to comply with user requirements for high-quality multimedia services. This paper proposes a simple spectrum allocation algorithm and presents an analytical model of dynamic spectrum resource allocation between two networks using a 4-D Markov chain. We argue that there may exist a break-even point for choosing whether or not to adopt DSA in a system. We point out certain circumstances where DSA is not a viable alternative. We also discuss the performance of DSA against the degree of resource sharing using the proposed analytical model and simulations. The presented analytical model is not restricted to DSA, and can be applied to a general resource sharing study.

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.

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.

A problem related to deployment of femtocells is how to manage access of users to radio resources. On one hand, all resources of the femtocell can be reserved for users belonging to a closed subscriber group (CSG), which is a set of users defined by a femtocell subscriber. This approach, known as closed access, however, increases interference to users not included in the CSG as those users do not have a permission to access this femtocell. Contrary, resources can be shared by all users with no priority in an open access mode. In this case, the femtocell subscriber shares radio as well as backhaul resources with all other users. Thus, throughput and quality of service of the subscriber and the CSG users can be deteriorated. To satisfy both the CSG as well as non-CSG users, a hybrid access is seen as a compromise. In this paper, we propose a new approach for sharing radio resources among all users. As in common cases, the CSG users have a priority for usage of a part of resources while rest of the resources is shared by all users proportionally to their requirements. As the simulation results show, the proposed resource sharing scheme significantly improves throughput of the CSG users and their satisfaction with granted bitrates. At the same time, throughput and satisfaction of the non-CSG users is still guaranteed roughly at the same level as if conventional sharing schemes are applied.

Cognitive radio-simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (CR-SWIPT) has attracted much interest since it can improve both the spectrum and energy efficiency of wireless networks. This paper focuses on the resource sharing between a point-to-point primary system (PRS) and a multiuser multi-antenna cellular cognitive radio system (CRS) containing a large number of cognitive users (CUs). The resource sharing optimization problem is formulated by jointly scheduling CUs and adjusting the transmit power at the cognitive base station (CBS). The effect of accessing CUs' spatial channel correlation on the possible transmit power of the CBS is investigated. Accordingly, we provide a low-complexity suboptimal approach termed the semi-correlated semi-orthogonal user selection (SC-SOUS) algorithm to enhance the spectrum efficiency. In the proposed algorithm, CUs that are highly correlated to the information decoding primary receiver (IPR) and mutually near orthogonal are selected for simultaneous transmission to reduce the interference to the IPR and increase the sum rate of the CRS. We further develop a spatial correlation-based resource sharing (SC-RS) strategy to improve energy sharing performance. CUs nearly orthogonal to the energy harvesting primary receiver (EPR) are chosen as candidates for user selection. Therefore, the EPR can harvest more energy from the CBS so that the energy utilization of the network can improve. Besides, zero-forcing precoding and power control are adopted to eliminate interference within the CRS and meet the transmit power constraints. Simulation results and analysis show that, compared with the existing CU selection methods, the proposed low-complex strategy can enhance both the achievable sum rate of the CRS and the energy sharing capability of the network.

With the increasing demand for unlicensed spectrum, several regulators have been opening up the 6-GHz band for unlicensed use while ensuring compliance with the technical requirement to avoid harmful interference in the existing primary services (PSs). In this paper, we present two methodologies, a channel-based method and a frequency-based method, which are applicable to a frequency coordination system that calculates the permissible transmit power in the channels or frequencies available to a secondary service (SS). In addition, we have demonstrated that the available transmit power of an SS can be maximized by adjusting the power allocation of the assigned resource units under the condition that the channel of the SS is partially overlapped with that of the PS. Based on the analysis results, it is suggested that it would be better to utilize the two methods selectively according to the operating channel conditions of the PS and the SS.

In this paper, we introduce an adaptive radio resource allocation for IP-based mobile satellite services. We also present a synchronous multibeam CDMA satellite system using an orthogonal resource sharing mechanism among downlink beams for the adaptive packet transmission. The simulation results, using a Ka-band mobile satellite channel and various packet scheduling schemes, show that the proposed system and resource allocation scheme improves the beam throughput by more than two times over conventional systems. The simulation results also show that, in multibeam satellite systems, a system-level adaptation to a user's channel and interference conditions according to user locations and current packet traffic is more efficient in terms of throughput improvement than a user-level adaptation.

인지무선 통신장치(cognitive radio)는 일반적으로 일차 사용자(primary user)와의 간섭을 피하기 위해 어떠한 일차 사용자도 점유하고 있지 않은 주파수 자원을 활용한다. 그러나 비어있는 주파수 자원을 발견할 수 없을 경우, 인지무선 통신장치는 언더레이(underlay) 형태로 일차 사용자들과 주파수를 공유할 수 있으며, 이 때 스스로의 통신이 일차 사용자들에게 간섭을 미치지 않도록 전송 전력을 조절해야 한다. 본 논문은 셀룰라 네트워크의 상향링크 주파수 자원을 사용하는 언더레이 주파수 공유 방법을 제안한다. 셀룰라 네트워크의 범위 안에 존재하는 한쌍의 인지무선 통신장치들이 단방향 점대점(point-to-point) 통신 링크를 생성할 때 사용할 수 있는 전송 전력의 재한을 계산하고, 계산된 전송 전력을 적용할 수 있는 실용적인 상향 링크 공유 방안을 제시한다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 상향 링크 공유 방안이 하향 링크 주파수 자원을 공유하는 것에 비해 인지무선 통신장치의 부담(overhead)을 줄일 뿐만 아니라 점대점 통신 링크의 수율(throughput) 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

코그니티브 라디오(CR: Cognitive Radio)는 사업자에게 할당되어 있지만 실제로 사용되지 않는 주파수 대역을 이용하는 기술로써 IEEE 802.22 WRAN(Wireless Regional Access Network)에서 국제표준이 진행되고 있다. 이 표준에서 우선사용자가 채널 사용을 하게 도면 CR 사용자는 우선사용자의 신호 복호를 보장하기 위해 해당 채널의 사용을 종료하고 다른 채널을 이용하여야 하므로, 해당 채널을 통해 통신을 할 수 없고 채널 이동시 데이터의 전송이 지연되기 때문에 CR 사용자에 대한 서비스 품질의 보장이 어렵다. 본 논문은 이 문제를 최소화하기 위해 CR 기지국의 전력 제어를 통해 우선사용자 신호의 복호를 보장하고 단위 면적당 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시키는 방법과 통신을 종료하는 CR 사용자의 수를 최소화하는 무선 자원 공유 방법을 제안한다. 전산모의실험을 통해 제안된 무선 자원 공유 방법이 단위 면적당 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시키고 통신 중단확률이 줄어드는 것을 보였다.

게임 이론을 적용한 기술은 전파 인지 시스템에서 전파 자원을 효율적으로 이용할 수 있는 유용한 방법으로 그 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 전파 자원 관리 시스템은 그 효율성에 따라서 전파 통신 시스템의 성능을 좌우하게 되므로 효율적인 알고리즘의 연구가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 분산 전력 제어가 적응적으로 구현되도록 하기 위하여 게임 이론을 적용한 새로운 시도를 해석적으로 제안하였다. 기존의 연구 결과들은 전력 제어를 게임 이론적으로 해석하는 가능성만을 보인 반면, 본 논문에서는 전파 인지 네트워크에서 네쉬 균형 (Nash Equilibrium)을 구하는 구체적인 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 네트워크에 접속된 부사용자들이 공동으로 만족하는 네쉬 균형 즉, 최적 전력 제어를 달성하도록 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 특히, 전파 인지 네트워크가 DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) 기술을 사용할 경우를 가정하여 이에 대한 적응적 전력 제어를 위한 게임 이론적 모델을 적용하였다. 게임 이론적인 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 DSSS 네트워크에서 K=63이고 N=12인 경우 네쉬 균형에 도달하기 위한 반복 횟수가 최대 200 이하인 결과를 보였다.
