主 题:Cognitive radio common control channel co-operative communication medium access control(MAC)protocols DTMC
摘 要:One of the challenging tasks in cognitive radio(CR) networks is to agree on a common control channel to exchange control information. This paper presents a novel medium access control(MAC) protocol for CR network which efficiently and intelligently establishes a common control channel between CR nodes. The proposed protocol is the first CR MAC protocol which is hybrid in nature and lies between global common control channel(GCCC) and non-GCCC family of MAC protocols. The dynamic nature of the protocol makes the CR nodes converge on a newly found control channel quicker whenever the interference from a licensed user is sensed. The analytical results show that the dynamic, hybrid and adaptive nature of proposed protocol yields higher throughputs when compared with other CR MAC protocols.
