This paper presents the performance analysis of spectrum sensing systems based on double threshold energy detection over κ-μ fading channels, which represents the small-scale variations of the fading signal under both light-of-sight and multipath scenarios. Receiver Operation Characteristics (ROC) are obtained regarding the double threshold scheme and comparisons are performed against the traditional single threshold…

Multiple Self-Organizing Networks (SON) functions have been deveoped towards the SON promise of automating cellular network operations. Meanwhile, advancing SON towards Cognitive CellularNetworks requires the (SON) Functions (SFs) to autonomously learn the required optimal configurations. Since the SFs adjust the same or related network parameters, conflicts are bound to occur. Mechanisms that are better than current SON coordination approaches must thus be devised to…

In this paper, an energy efficient cognitive radio system is proposed. The proposed design optimizes the secondary user transmission power and the sensing duration combined with soft-sensing information to minimize the energy per goodbit. Due to the non-convex nature of the problem we prove its pseudo-convexity to guarantee the optimal solution. Furthermore, a quantization scheme, that discretize the…

This paper addresses the following question regarding Gaussian networks: Is there an alternative to decoding interference or treating interference as Gaussian noise? To state our result, we study a decentralized network of one primary user (PU) and one secondary user (SU) modeled by a two-user Gaussian interference channel. In one scenario, the primary transmitter is constellation-based and PUs…

Database-assisted TV white space network is a promising paradigm of dynamic spectrum sharing, and can effectively improve spectrum utilization and alleviate spectrum scarcity via centralized control of TV white space databases residing in the cloud. In this article, we discuss business modeling for a database-assisted TV white space network, which is very important for wide commercialization of this…

In this paper, spectrum sensing is investigated and a new detection framework, namely, deep sensing (DS), is proposed for more challenging scenarios of future dynamic spectrum sharing. In contrast to existing methods, the DS scheme is designed to proactively recover and exploit some other informative states associated with realistic cognitive links (e.g., fading gains), except detecting the…

Based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, an additional individual data transmission can be established in statistical spectrum domain, which can be adopted for specific applications. However, the performance of existing detection methods for this kind of transmission will be severely restricted when the channel coefficients are dynamic within each observation window. In this…

In cognitive ratio (CR), spectrum sensing is a crucial technique aiming at exploiting spectrum white spaces. This sensing task is more difficult for multiple channels in wide bands. In this paper, we investigate spectrum sensing tasks for long-term evolution (LTE) networks in large frequency-bands. We propose an effective spectrum sensing scheme to detect LTE signals and classify the cell-identities…

In a cognitive relay network, a secondary cooperative transmission, sharing the same spectrum band with N primary transmissions, is considered. Assuming imperfect channel state knowledge of the interference channels (from secondary transmitters to primary receivers) at the secondary nodes, we investigate the problem of secondary achievable rate maximization under a constraint on the interference caused at the primary…

Low power wireless sensors, personal wireless hub (PWH) and receivers can reduce the workload of the paramedic staff in a hospital. In this paper, we use multiple PWHs to transfer sensor data to the main central controller, which helps the wireless sensor devices. A well designed multiple PWH assignment and power control scheme can reduce…
