Distributed radio resource allocation schemes with information exchange

A large amount of information exchanges among users/cells Interfaces for information exchange may not be available

Cognitive Radio
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
the actual licensed spectrum is largely underutilized in vast temporal and geographic dimensions

Cognitive Radios (CRs)

opportunistically exploit the under-utilized portions of the spectrum, J. Mitola

Definition:
A cognitive radio is a radio that can change its transmitter parameters based on interaction with the environment it operates

Cognitive Radio
Main characteristics
Cognitive capability: spectrum sensing, spectrum analysis, spectrum decision Reconfigurability: involves the change/modification/update of several characteristics of physical layer parameters
Spectrum sensing

Sharing rule

Heterogeneity and prioritized access Primary users (PUs): hold a license for a specific portion of the spectrum
Spectrum access

Cognitive or secondary users (SUs): seeks for and chooses spectrum opportunities/holes to transmit while causing no or minimal interference to existing PUs.

Cognitive Radio

frequencey

time

A band of frequencies assigned to a PU, but, at a particular time and specific geographic location, the band is not being utilized by that user.
