Spectrum Handoff Strategies in Cognitive Radio Networks (original) (raw)
Today, Cognitive Radio (CR) have a promising solution to both spectrum inefficiency and spectrum scarcity issues by enabling secondary users (SUs) to exploit the idle frequency bands temporarily in opportunistic manner as long as the primary users (PUs) do not occupy their spectrum. The SUs must vacate these frequency bands when the PUs come back and reuse them. This is one of challenge in CR technology. In this case, the communication links of the SUs must be finding another idle frequency bands to resume their communication links. This is called spectrum handoff which is affecting to the performance of system by main factors such as: link maintenance probability, the number of spectrum handoff, switching delay. Spectrum handoff may be happen more than once for a wide range of the spectrum available in CR. This switching change the characteristics of propagation transmission loss which is affects the overall system performance. Thus, in this thesis, the path loss and coverage area ...
