The increasing demand for assorted services from extensive wireline and wireless users place a significant burden on the band-limited radio spectrum. To settle the demand, smart reuse and management of the spectrum are necessary. In this contribution, Cognitive Radio being an emerging technology provides a platform to share the same spectrum between Primary Users (licensed) and Secondary Users (unlicensed) for significant improvement in the spectrum efficiency. The coexistence of users for data communications in a band-limited channel calls for a robust congestion controller to maximize throughput. This work presents the design of a robust nonlinear congestion controller based on event-triggered sliding mode for Cognitive Radio Networks. The goal is to maintain desired Quality of Service of the network with optimum bandwidth and resource utilization. The controller has been designed on the notions …
