Channel allocation and reallocation for cognitive radio networks
Tigang Jiang, Honggang Wang, Supeng Leng · Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing · 2011
ABSTRACT In this paper, a new channel allocation and re‐location scheme is proposed for cognitive radio users to efficiently utilize available spectrums. We also present a multiple‐dimension Markov analytical chain to evaluate the performance of this scheme. Both analytical results and simulation results demonstrate that the new scheme can enhance the radio system performance significantly in terms of blocking probability, dropping probability, and throughput of second users. The proposed scheme can work as a non‐server‐based channel allocation, which has practical values in real engineering design. Copyright ©2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
