A generic layered modeling for cognitive radio networks
Syed S. Rizvi, Nathan Showan · 2014
In this paper, we present different components necessary for a design of a typical cognitive radio (CR) and classify them in the context of modeling and simulation. A design of a CR network (CRN) includes the software defined radio (SDR), spectrum sensing, and communication channels. We construct a theoretical representation of a CR by specifying its unique characteristics needed for modeling and simulation. Furthermore, we show the mapping of these characteristics into a layered architecture framework which ease the model formalization and simplify the simulation of a complex CRN.
