Efficient spectrum sharing and allocation schemes for throughput enhancements in a Cognitive Radio Network
V. Jayaraj, J. Jegathesh Amalraj · 2012
Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs) constitute a viable solution to solve the current problems of inefficiency in the spectrum allocation, and to deploy highly reconfigurable and self-organizing wireless networks. Cognitive Radio (CR) devices are envisaged to utilize the spectrum in an opportunistic way by dynamically accessing different licensed portions of the spectrum[1]. However the phenomena of channel fading and primary cum secondary interference in cognitive radio networks does not guarantee application demands to be achieved continuously over time.
