Modeling And Analysis Of Voice And Data In Cognitive Radio Networks

This Springer Brief investigates the voice and elastic/interactive data service support over cognitive radio networks (CRNs), in terms of their delay requirements. The increased demand for wireless communication conflicts with the scarcity of the radio spectrum, but CRNS allow for more efficient use of the networks. The authors review packet level delay requirements of the voice service and session level delay requirements of the elastic/interactive data services, particularly constant-rate and on-off voice traffic capacities in CRNs with centralized and distributed network coordination. Some generic channel access schemes are considered as the coordination mechanism, and call admission control algorithms are developed for non-fully-connected CRNs. Other key topics include the advantages of supporting voice traffic flows with different delay requirements, the mean response time of the elastic data traffic over a centralized CRN, and effects of the traffic load at the base station and file length (service time requirement) distribution on the mean response time. The brief is designed for professionals and researchers working with wireless networks, cognitive radio, and communications. It is also a helpful reference for advanced-level students interested in efficient wireless communications.

A comprehensive treatment of cognitive radio networks and the specialized techniques used to improve wireless communications The human brain, as exemplified by cognitive radar, cognitive radio, and cognitive computing, inspires the field of Cognitive Dynamic Systems. In particular, cognitive radio is growing at an exponential rate. Fundamentals of Cognitive Radio details different aspects of the human brain and provides examples of how it can be mimicked by cognitive dynamic systems. The text offers a communication-theoretic background, including information on resource allocation in wireless networks and the concept of robustness. The authors provide a thorough mathematical background with data on game theory, variational inequalities, and projected dynamic systems. They then delve more deeply into resource allocation in cognitive radio networks. The text investigates the dynamics of cognitive radio networks from the perspectives of information theory, optimization, and control theory. It also provides a vision for the new world of wireless communications by integration of cellular and cognitive radio networks. This groundbreaking book: Shows how wireless communication systems increasingly use cognition to enhance their networks Explores how cognitive radio networks can be viewed as spectrum supply chain networks Derives analytic models for two complementary regimes for spectrum sharing (open-access and market-driven) to study both equilibrium and disequilibrium behaviors of networks Studies cognitive heterogeneous networks with emphasis on economic provisioning for resource sharing Introduces a framework that addresses the issue of spectrum sharing across licensed and unlicensed bands aimed for Pareto optimality Written for students of cognition, communication engineers, telecommunications professionals, and others, Fundamentals of Cognitive Radio offers a new generation of ideas and provides a fresh way of thinking about cognitive techniques in order to improve radio networks.

Cognitive radio – a paradigm for wireless communication in which either a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters to communicate more efficiently and avoid interference -- is one of the most exciting emerging fields in communications technology. Taking an integrated development approach, this cutting-edge book provides you with clear methods for performing quantitative analysis of cognitive radio techniques in a variety of environments. This detailed reference presents a quantitative structure that helps you determine the capability of cognitive radio to address a number of constraints of current radio design. Critical to understanding the operation of cognitive radio, the book develops an analytic model for a range of spectrum environments. Moreover, this unique resource offers you unique insight into the application of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) to improve the performance of all classes of wireless devices. DVD Included! Contains sample cognitive radio environments and closed form approximations of these environments in MATLAB file format. This data enables you to reproduce the analysis provided in the book, perform the exercises in each chapter, and extend the work through independent investigation and research.

Wireless devices and applications have been an unavoidable part of human lives in the past decade. In the past few years, the global mobile data traffic has grown considerably and is expected to grow even faster in future. Given the fact that the number of wireless nodes has significantly increased, the contention and interference on the license-free industrial, scientific, and medical band has become severer than ever. Cognitive radio nodes were introduced in the past decade to mitigate the issues related to spectrum scarcity. In this dissertation, we focus on the interference and performance analysis of networks coexisting with cognitive radio networks and address the design and analysis of spectrum allocation and routing for cognitive radio networks. Spectrum allocation enables nodes to construct a link on a common channel at the same time so they can start communicating with each other. We introduce a new approach for the modeling and analysis of interference and spectrum allocation schemes for cognitive radio networks with arbitrarily-shaped network regions.

In recent years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the efficient utilization of the available spectrum under the various propagation models which lead towards the design and dimensioning of the future network Internet of Things (IoT).This book focuses on Television White Space (TVWS) opportunities and regulatory aspects for cognitive radio applications, and includes case studies for the exploitation of TVWS depending on user's mobility, and the geo-location between user and the Base Station. The book presents recent advances in spectrum sensing, reflecting state of the art technology and research achievements in this area as well as a new insights in spectrum sensing of performance modeling, analysis and worldwide applications. Technical topics discussed include: • Novel Application of TV White Space• Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio• Cooperative Spectrum Sensing• DoA Estimation Algorithms
