© 2022 Elsevier Inc.With the increasing use of cognitive radio technology in vehicular communications, vehicles will be enabled with cognitive radio in the future. Cognitive radio assisted vehicular networks make cognitive radio enabled vehicles utilize licensed spectrum on highways opportunistically. This work tackles cognitive radio assisted vehicular networks including M primary users (transmitter), M primary receivers, a secondary user (transmitter) with K channels and K secondary receivers. A channel is assigned to each primary user for data transmission whenever they need to use. The secondary user has data backlog. It knows neither the states (good or bad) of M channels, or statistics of channel evolution processes. It selects K of M channels to send data at each time slot. If it senses that a selected channel is in good state, it uses that channel for data packet transmission in same time slot. If not, it chooses another channel at the next time slot. We tackle this problem under average reward criteria for finite and infinite time horizon. This work presents Uniforming Random Ordered Policy (UROP) and shows UROP achieves near-optimal throughput under block fading assumption for generic channel evolution process. Numerical results show that our policy achieves near-optimal throughput (more than 80% of optimal throughput for scarce number of available channels) under average reward criteria whereas MP may achieve less than even 25% of optimal throughput for scarce number of available channels.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is fast reaching all avenues of application. From retail to warehousing, tracking farm animals to monitoring medicine dosage in human body, traffic control to airport baggage control, it is penetrating all forums and industries and providing ease of deployment and automated visibility and management of inventories which was not possible with traditional barcodes. Along with its superiority over barcodes, RFID systems are also required to be costeffective to b...
Near-optimal opportunistic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks in the 5G and IoT era
Gül, Ömer Melih (2021-10-04)
© 2021 IEEE.We consider a cognitive radio network consisting of M primary users, M primary receivers, a secondary user with K channels and K secondary receivers. A channel is assigned to each primary user for transmitting data to a primary receiver. Secondary user is assumed as data backlogged. The secondary user has no direct information on states (good or bad) of M channels, or statistic of channel evolution process. Secondary user chooses K channels for transmission in each time slot. If secondary user s...
BIOlogically-inspired Spectrum Sharing in cognitive radio networks
Atakan, Baris; Akan, Oezguer B. (2007-03-15)
Cognitive radio is the promising radio technology, which aims to detect and utilize the temporally unused spectrum bands by sensing its radio environment in order to enhance spectrum utilization. However, these objectives bring significant challenges and required functionalities such as spectrum sensing, sharing, management and mobility for the realization of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN). In particular, efficient spectrum sharing problem in cognitive radio communication is one of the most important proble...
