Spectrum sensing is a fundamental component of cognitive radio (CR). How to promptly sense the presence of primary users (PUs) is a key issue to a CR network. The time requirement is critical in that violating it will cause harmful interference to the PU, leading to a system-wide failure. The motivation of this paper is to provide an effective…

Automatic modulation classification using S-transform based features
Automatic Modulation Classification plays a significant role in Cognitive Radio to identify the modulation format of the primary user. In this paper, we present the Stockwell transform (S-transform) based features extraction for classification of different digital modulation schemes using different classifiers such as Neural Network (NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Naive Bayes (NB), k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN).…
Image and video transmission in cognitive radio systems under sensing uncertainty
This paper studies the performance of hierarchical-modulation-based image and video transmission incognitive radio systems with imperfect channel sensing results under constraints on both transmit and interference power. Data intended for transmission is first compressed via source coding techniques and then divided into two priority classes, namely high priority (HP) data and low priority (LP) data, by taking…
Signal Design for Context Aware Distributed Radar Sensing Networks Based on Wavelets
In the field of radar sensing, a paradigm shift is taking place from the traditional radar system to distributed sensing/radar networks. Comparing with the single radar system distributed radar networkshave a superior performance in detection and estimation of parameters of target. They also enhance the imaging and classification performance of sensing systems. As in distributed radar networks several radars…
Managing Crowds in Hazards With Dynamic Grouping
Emergency navigation algorithms for evacuees in confined spaces typically treat all evacuees in a homogeneous manner, using a common metric to select the best exit paths. In this paper, we present a quality of service (QoS) driven routing algorithm to cater to the needs of different types of evacuees based on age, mobility, and level…
Energy Efficiency Maximization Framework in Cognitive Downlink Two-Tier Networks
To support the surge in wireless data traffic, the spectrum and energy efficiencies of cellular networksshould be largely increased. Heterogeneous two-tier architecture has been identified as one key solution. However, small-cell deployment raises questions about the resulting energy efficiency and interference mitigation. Therefore, we propose an energy-efficient and cognitive spectrum sharing scheme between primary macrocell and secondary small…
Virtualized cognitive network architecture for 5G cellular networks
Cellular networks have preserved an application agnostic and base station (BS) centric architecture1 for decades. Network functionalities (e.g. user association) are decided and performed regardless of the underlying application (e.g. automation, tactile Internet, online gaming, multimedia). Such an ossified architecture imposes several hurdles against achieving the ambitious metrics of next generation cellular systems. This article first highlights the features…
On the Performance of Underlay Cognitive Multisource Multirelay Cooperative Networks
An underlay cognitive multisource multirelay cooperative network is proposed and an analytical framework to evaluate the system performance is formulated. Under both maximum transmission power and interference power constraints, exact and asymptotic outage probabilities for proactive decode-and-forward relaying over Rayleigh fading channels are derived. Both multiuser diversity and cooperative diversity can be achieved with direct secondary links.
Automatic digital modulation recognition using minimum feature extraction
Auto modulation recognition schemes of digitally modulated signal plays a vital role in both military and civil applications like software defined radio, electronic warfare, cognitive radio systems, radio spectrum management, threat analysis and electronic surveillance. In this paper we proposed a new algorithm to distinguish between 6 digital modulation schemes (ASK-2, FSK-2, PSK-2, ASK-4, FSK-4, and PSK-4). Simulation results show that…
Two-stage spectrum sensing for cognitive radio under noise uncertainty
The robustness to uncertainty of noise power is one of main challenges to spectrum sensing technique. Since the occurrence of noise power uncertainty causes the detection performance of spectrum sensing techniques significantly degrade. In this paper, we propose two novel schemes of two-stage spectrum sensing for cognitive radio under environment as noise power uncertainty. The two-stage spectrum sensing…
