This paper studies cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. Both the sensing and the reporting channels are assumed to be either slow or fast fading channels. In a practical system, due to the lack of cooperation between the primary and secondary users, the power of the primary signal, the channel state information of the sensing channels as well as the noise power level are unknown. We first provide an analytically tractable signal model using a Gaussian approximation and then propose generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) methods for the design of the corresponding detectors. The basic idea lies in the fact that the unknown parameters can be estimated by exploiting hidden information in the sample covariance matrix of the received signals. The effectiveness of the proposed GLRT-based sensing methods are validated through numerical results.

An adaptive rate controller (ARC) based on adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is designed to autonomously adjust the data rate of a mobile heterogeneous network to adapt the changing traffic load and the user speed for multimedia call services. Through simulations, it is demonstrated that the ARC is able to maintain new call blocking probability and handoff failure probability of the mobile heterogeneous network below a prescribed low level over different user speeds and new call origination rates while maximizing the average throughput. It is also shown that the ARC can make mobile heterogeneous network to accommodate more traffic load.

The current radio environment is characterized by its heterogeneity. Different aspects of this heterogeneity include: multiple operators and services, various radio access technologies, different network topologies, broad range of radio equipment, and multiple frequency bands. Such environment has a lot of technical and business opportunities. The examples are: joint management of several radio access networks within one operator to balance load of these networks; detecting and using unused spectrum in the allocated frequency bands without interrupting the operation of the primary users of such frequency bands; spectrum trading between several operators. To exploit such opportunities, the concept of Cognitive Radio System (CRS) has been developed. A lot of CRS usage scenarios and business cases are possible. This has triggered a lot of standardization activity at all levels, including ITU, IEEE, ETSI, and ECMA, where each of these organizations considers multiple CRS deployment scenarios and business directions. This paper presents current ITU-R standardization activities on CRS.

This paper proposes a spectrum sharing type cognitive radio system integrated with a dedicated radio system called out-of-band pilot channel (OPC). The OPC notifies the radio configuration information of cognitive base station (CBS), such as operational frequency and PHY/MAC parameters, to cognitive terminal (CT) so that the CT does not need to sense throughout a large range of potential frequency bands and immediately configure itself to connect to the CBS. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed system takes 2.80 seconds to obtain the information on accessible CBS, whereas the conventional system without the OPC takes 8.09 seconds for sensing just 4 frequency channels. It is confirmed that the proposed system achieves a drastic time reduction to obtain the CBS radio configuration information.
本文提出了一种频谱共享型认知无线电系统，该系统与专用的带外导频信道(OPC)相结合。OPC将认知基站(cognitive base station, CBS)的工作频率、PHY/MAC参数等无线电配置信息通知给认知终端(cognitive terminal, CT)，使认知终端不需要在大范围的潜在频带内感知并立即配置自己与CBS连接。实验评估表明，该系统获取可访问CBS上的信息需要2.80秒，而传统的无OPC系统仅感知4个频率通道需要8.09秒。实验结果表明，该系统大大缩短了获取CBS无线电配置信息的时间。

In cognitive radio networks, secondary users can cooperate based on their own sensing observations so as to detect the primary user more accurately. However, since of location disadvantage, multipath fading or shadowing, sensing contribution of some secondary users may be untrustworthy, which are termed malfunction nodes in this paper. To mitigate this problem we propose a contribution based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme for cognitive radio networks. By assigning different sensing time to each secondary user based on their historic contribution to the global decision, the new scheme can exploit the merit of spatial advantage and save more energy for them when they are in a severe fading or shadowing environment. Numerical results show that the sensing performance is improved significantly as opposed to conventional spectrum sensing.

This paper studies the performance of admission control in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). We propose a CRN architecture featuring cooperation among several CRNs in the same geographical area. Joint Admission Control (JAC) enables secondary users (SUs) to have access to the combined spectrum pool of the cooperating CRNs. Three joint admission control schemes are investigated and quantitatively analyzed using continuous-time Markov chain analysis. Analytical results reveal new insights that the channel-aware admission control scheme achieves the lowest blocking probability at the expense of communication overhead for obtaining channel usage information in each CRN while the weighted selection scheme obtains the lowest forced termination probability. Moreover, we quantify the gain of cooperation through performance comparison between Joint Admission Control and separate admission control where SUs are restricted to using only one specific CRN. We demonstrate that JAC can achieve significant performance improvement.

Post-disaster situation requires quick and effective rescue efforts by the first responders. Generally the rescue teams use wireless radios for intra-agency communications. Lack of collaboration among different rescue agencies may create interference among the emergency radios. Identification of some physical parameters of these active radios is necessary for collaboration. Carrier frequency and bandwidth can be estimated by spectrum sensing, whereas modulation classification requires further signal processing and classification operations. Processing speed and performance of the classification system can be controlled by appropriate selection of signal parameters, signal processing techniques and the classification algorithms. A wireless disaster area emergency network (W-DAEN) can be installed in the disaster area to detect and capture data (time samples) of the occupied frequencies. This study consists of some simulation results of a machine learning based cooperative automatic modulation classification technique by using six unique features. The classification performance and processing time of the proposed algorithm is quite satisfactory for real-time classification system.

In cognitive radio system, it is necessary for spectrum sensing technology to search for vacant channel. Cyclostationary feature detection method has superior noise-immune and recognition. However, since the mismatch between the detected signal and detection duration by guard interval (GI) insertion occurs, the cyclostationarity is degraded. In this paper, we propose a high accuracy and low complexity detection method based on cyclostationarity feature. The proposed method limits symbol detection time and makes multiple delay line detectors as units of the GI time. Computer simulation and analytical evaluation show the effectiveness of the proposed detection method compared to the conventional one.

Multi-radio platforms are an interesting design concept. Executing multiple radios on a shared platform presents opportunities not only for component re-use but also for better data throughputs, as non-active radios may dynamically yield resources for active ones. This enhances the conventional SDR approach in the RF domain and provides means to optimize resources in platform level when taking the link and network traffic issues into account. Such flexibility can provide opportunities for future cognitive radios when operating in heterogeneous networks. The downside is increased RF interference, and thus, receiver desensitization. We review the design and performance trade-offs of multi-radio platforms focusing on LTE and WLAN and present motivation for simple co-operation mechanisms to their future revisions.
