In this paper we study how cognitive radio concepts enable systems to sense and predict interference patterns and adapt their spectrum access accordingly. This leads to a new cognitive coexistence paradigm, in which cognitive radio implicitly coordinates the spec- trum access of heterogeneous systems. Within this framework, we investigate coexistence with a set of parallel WLAN bands: based on predicting WLAN activity, the cognitive radio dynamically hops between the bands to avoid collisions and reduce interference. The de- velopment of a real-time test bed is presented, and used to corroborate theoretical results and model assumptions. Numerical results show a good fit between theory and experiment and demonstrate that sensing and prediction can mitigate interference effectively. I.

A custom-designed wideband sensing engine records the received power of signals, and its performance is presented to select the decision threshold required to define the channel state (busy/idle). Two sets of measurements are presented where data were collected using an omni-directional and directional antenna in an indoor environment. Statistics of the idle time windows in the 2.4 GHz WLAN are analyzed using a wider set of distributions, which require fewer parameters to compute and are more practical for implementation compared to the widely-used phase type or Gaussian mixture distributions. For the omni-directional antenna, it was found that the lognormal and gamma distributions can be used to model the behavior of the idle time windows under different network traffic loads. In addition, the measurements show that the low time resolution and angle of arrival affect the statistics of the idle time windows.

Introduction The vision of 5G network (5GN) encapsulates many application areas, e.g. mobile broadband, connected health, intelligent transportation, and industry automation [1].

The next generation cellular networks and wireless sensor networks (WSN) make the road to the target of the next generation IoT networks. The challenges of the next generation IoT networks remain in reducing the overall network latency and increasing throughput without sacrificing reliability. One feasible alternative is coexistence of networks operating on different frequencies. However, data bandwidth support and spectrum availability are the major challenges. Therefore, cognitive radio networks (CRN) are the best available technology to cater to all these challenges for the co-existence of IoT, WSN, 5G, and beyond-5G networks. Keywords: CRN; IoT; WSN; 5G; spectrum sensing; spectrum sharing 1.

  • Detection of Vacant Frequency Bands in Cognitive Radio
    MEE10:58 DETECTION OF VACANT FREQUENCY BANDS IN COGNITIVE RADIO Rehan Ahmed Yasir Arfat Ghous This thesis is presented as part of Degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Blekinge Institute of Technology May 2010 Blekinge Institute of Technology School of Engineering Supervisor: (Doktorand) Maria Erman Examiner: Universitetslektor Jörgen Nordberg ii ABSTRACT Cognitive radio is an exciting promising technology which not only has the potential of dealing with the inflexible prerequisites but also the scarcity of the radio spectrum usage. Such an innovative and transforming technology presents an exemplar change in the design of wireless communication systems, as it allows the efficient utilization of the radio spectrum by transforming the capability to dispersed terminals or radio cells of radio sensing, active spectrum sharing and self-adaptation procedure. Cooperative communications and networking is one more new communication skill prototype that permits the distributed terminals in a wireless network to cooperate with each other through some distributed transmission or signal processing in order to comprehend a new appearance of space diversity to contest the detrimental effects of fading channels. In this thesis, we regard the relevance of these technologies to spectrum sensing and spectrum sharing. One of the most vital challenges for cognitive radio systems is to diagnose the existence of primary (licensed) users over an extensive range of spectrum at a particular time and explicit geographic locality. We consider the utilization of cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio systems to increase the consistency of detecting of primary users. We describe spectrum sensing for cognitive radios (CRs) and project a vigorous cooperative spectrum sensing procedure for a practical framework employing cognitive radios Cooperative sensing can formulate excellent use of network assets, attain higher gain and make the network smooth.

  • SDR and Cognitive Radio for Military Applications
    UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED SDR and Cognitive Radio for Military Applications Tricia J. Willink Communications Research Centre 3701 Carling Ave., Box 11490, Station H Ottawa, ON, K2H 8S2 CANADA email:[email protected] ABSTRACT The development of software-defined radios (SDRs) should provide a small, light and cost-efficient platform capable of supporting multiple waveforms over a large frequency range. While there are challenges in achieving the vision of rapidly portable waveforms, the SDR is a critical technology for future military communications, and is an enabling platform for cognitive radio. Cognitive radio is proposed as a technology for exploiting the EM spectrum more effectively. While the main frequency bands of interest are fully licenced to authorised users, they are often unoccupied over large geographic areas or for significant time intervals. Cognitive radios are envisioned as aware, adaptable and intelligent devices, capable of learning and operating autonomously in a wide range of scenarios. The key feature of cognitive radios is the capability to identify unused frequency bands, to jump to them and select appropriate radio parameters. These radios must be able to operate without causing unacceptable interference to authorised users of the frequency band, therefore they must monitor for the presence of the primary user, and take into account the possible location of receivers of its signals. INTRODUCTION The adoption of the network-centric warfare (NCW), or net-enabled operations (NEOps), philosophy by western and allied nations requires a similarly revolutionary approach to communications technology. The basis of NEOps is the sharing of information among front-line forces, decision makers, sensors, weapons, etc.
