Cognitive radio (CR) offers a new mechanism for flexible usage of radio spectrum. This paper presents a full-duplex multi-channel MAC protocol designed for CR enabled multi-hop networks. Each node is equipped with at least two transceivers, one for transmitting and another for receiving. A node selects an unused frequency band as its home channel (HCh) and tunes its receiver to its HCh. When a node j has a packet to transmit to its neighbor i, node j tunes its transmitter to the HCh of node i and sends the packet(s) to node i using CSMA/CA scheme of IEEE 802.11 DCF mode. The protocol has two flavors: (a) With a common control channel which requires 3 transceivers and (b) without the control channel. Simulation studies show that the proposed protocol outperforms IEEE 802.11 DCF mode by a factor of 20

The rising number and capacity requirements of radio systems bring about an increasing demand for frequency spectrum. Cognitive radio offers a tempting solution to this problem by proposing opportunistic usage of frequency bands that are not occupied by their licensed users. Since it is a rather new concept, there is no consensus on the practical implementation of cognitive radio communications. In this paper, a comprehensive system design for cognitive radio is presented. The details of spectrum sensing and dynamic spectrum shaping, which constitute the basics of opportunistic spectrum usage, are given. It is proposed to transmit the spectrum sensing related information via on-off keying (OOK) modulated ultrawideband (UWB). The limits on the range of one-to-one cognitive communications are discussed. A processing gain based approach that leads to an increased range for cognitive networks is proposed. Different signaling options for the real data communications are given, and among these options an impulse radio that employs raised cosine filters is investigated in detail

Introducing cognitive principles in the design of a wireless network appears as an attractive option when considering the emerging scenario of coexisting networks. In this paper we introduce cognitive features in a network of IEEE 802.15.4a devices, and show that significant improvements in terms of network lifetime can be achieved by allowing the devices to adapt their behavior to the unpredictable changes of the operating environment

A novel comprehensive classification system is proposed for recognizing the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal and extracting its parameters. An empirical distribution function-based Gaussianity test technique is first applied to distinguish OFDM from single carrier modulations. Cyclostationarity and correlation tests are then applied to estimate OFDM symbol duration and cyclic prefix duration. A bank of fast Fourier transform (FFT) bank filter is devised to detect the number of subcarriers. Numerical results are presented to verify the efficiency of the proposed scheme

We argue that utility functions are very natural tools for formulating optimization problems in cognitive wireless networks. However, their use mandates that the platform used supports well-defined APIs and abstractions for retrieving information necessary to calculate the application utilities. We present the design of a unified link-layer API that offers precisely this functionality in the context of link-layer information. The API developed offers powerful query and notification mechanisms, which considerably simplify the implementation of technology-independent reasoning engines for cognitive networks. Prototype implementations of the API show that despite the rich functionality offered, the implementation can be made very lightweight and fast, enabling optimization decisions even on per-frame basis with standard user terminals

Distinguishing the transmission status of the communication as line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) is of great importance for the wireless communication systems. It is known that for LOS and NLOS, some statistical characteristics of the transmission differ from each other. If the distinction between LOS and NLOS can be made as quick and accurate as possible, ranging based applications and adaptive radio systems like cognitive radios can make use of this information to increase their performances significantly. In this study, a numerical and computationally low complex method for coherent receivers is proposed to discriminate the LOS/NLOS status of the transmission depending on the autocorrelation properties of individual paths. The proposed method is tested for both noise-free and noisy conditions with sum-of-sinusoids (SoS) and inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) based simulation models. It is observed that the proposed method gives good results even for relatively low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values

Ultra wideband (UWB) technology has been considered as one of the suitable transmission techniques for implementing a cognitive radio system, where spectrum-agile UWB waveforms achieve adaptation features. One approach for designing such waveforms relies on orthogonally combining PSWF-based pulse wavelets. In a cognitive UWB radio environment with N users, with respect to the case of one sub-band accessed by one user, whose transmitting signal is M-ary pulse shape modulated, we get different eigenvalues by transmitting these pulses in a multipath fading channel, we propose water filling scheme, depending on the different eigenvalues, to optimize the power allocation among them. Simulation results show that the scheme improves the sub-band channel data throughput compared with the scheme that power is equal allocated among these pulse wavelets, when the SNR is low, which is the normal case in UWB communications

In cognitive radio networks, the first cognitive task preceding any form of dynamic spectrum management is the sensing and identification of spectrum holes in wireless environments. This paper develops a wavelet approach to efficient spectrum sensing of wideband channels. The signal spectrum over a wide frequency band is decomposed into elementary building blocks of subbands that are well characterized by local irregularities in frequency. As a powerful mathematical tool for analyzing singularities and edges, the wavelet transform is employed to detect and estimate the local spectral irregular structure, which carries important information on the frequency locations and power spectral densities of the subbands. Along this line, a couple of wideband spectrum sensing techniques are developed based on the local maxima of the wavelet transform modulus and the multi-scale wavelet products. The proposed sensing techniques provide an effective radio sensing architecture to identify and locate spectrum holes in the signal spectrum

State and contextual awareness, reasoning and conclusions formation, and a means of directing application, structural and parameter-level radio reconfiguration are key elements of a cognitive radio. This paper describes a cognitive radio design capable of scaling between the two extremes of minimal cognitive capabilities and complex highly-evolved cognitive radio abilities, which is being adopted for real tests using licensed cognitive radio test spectrum. A memory element stores state, sensor, objectives, actions and conclusions information and the relevance of this information can be varied in order to identify or ignore common traits or occurrences. The decision-making and conclusions formation abilities of this cognitive radio design can use (or choose to ignore using the variable weighting facility) external information relating to the network, and etiquettes in conjunction with the memory element. A set of actions formulated by the reasoning and conclusions formation stages direct the radio reconfiguration. This design is implemented using a general-purpose processor (GPP) platform as it currently offers the very high level of reconfigurability required for very malleable cognitive radio design

Thanks to recent advances in wireless technology, a broad range of standards are currently emerging. Interoperability and coexistence between these heterogeneous networks are becoming key issues, which require new adaptation strategies to avoid harmful interference. In this paper, we focus on the coexistence of 802.11 Wireless LAN and 802.15.4 sensor networks in the ISM band. Those networks have very different transmission characteristics that result in asymmetric interference patterns. We propose distributed adaptation strategies for 802.15.4 nodes, to minimize the impact of the 802.11 interference. This interference varies in time, frequency and space and the sensor nodes adapt by changing their frequency channel selection over time. Different distributed techniques are proposed, based on scanning (with increasing power cost) on the one hand, and based on increased cognition through learning on the other hand. These techniques are evaluated both for performance and energy cost. We show that it is possible to achieve distributed frequency allocation approaches that result only in an increase of 20% of the delay performance compared to ideal frequency allocation. Moreover, it is shown that a factor of two in energy consumption can be saved by adding learning to the system
