This paper presents a novel medium access control medium access control (MAC) for
distributed single-channel cognitive radio networks (CRNs) denominated cognitive radio …

A channel-aware reservation-based MAC protocol for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) is
proposed in this work. The proposed scheme allows secondary users (SUs) to send out …

In this paper, we consider medium access control (MAC) protocol design for random-access
cognitive radio (CR) networks. A two-level opportunistic spectrum access strategy is …

We propose a novel multi-channel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for distributed
Cognitive Radio Networks (dCRNs), which adopts a non-preemptive MaxWeight scheduling …

Design of an efficient medium access control protocol is critical for proper functioning of a
distributed cognitive radio network and better utilization of the channels not being used by …

In this paper, we consider the medium access control (MAC) protocol design for random
access cognitive radio network (CRN). Based on asynchronous spectrum sensing technique …

A simple distributed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for cognitive wireless networks
is proposed. It is assumed that the network is slotted, the spectrum is divided into a number …

Cognitive Radio is a promising technology for solving spectrum scarcity problem. Design of
medium access control (MAC) protocols for Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) is challenging …

In this paper, we have explored a novel concept of the medium access control (MAC)
protocol for the distributed cognitive radio network. We have implemented the backoff …

Distributed medium access control (MAC) is important for efficient exploitation of spectrum
opportunities in cognitive radio networks. This letter proposes a channel-aware distributed …
