Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) involve an extensive exchange of control messages to
coordinate spectrum sensing, medium access, routing, etc. Static control channel allocation …

In traditional cognitive radio networks (CRNs), users are generally divided into two
categories: primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs). The transmission rates of …

Cognitive radio technology improves radio resource usage by reconfiguring the wireless
connection settings according to the optimum decisions, which are made on the basis of the …

We consider a point-to-multipoint cognitive radio network that shares a set of channels with
a primary network. Within the cognitive radio network, a base station controls and supports a …

We consider the channel selection problem in a cognitive radio network with heterogenous
channel availabilities at different nodes. We formulate the maximum channel selection …

In view of the unpredictable activities of primary users (PUs), connectivity guarantee is of
vital importance for the cognitive radio network (CRN). Existing works ensure the …

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) involve extensive exchange of control messages, which
are used to coordinate critical network functions such as distributed spectrum sensing …

The benefits of cognitive radio networking (CRN) have been well recognized with the
emerging wireless applications in recent years. While many existing works assume that the …

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) promise to be the next generation of the key enabling
technology that enables dynamic spectrum access (DSA). The channel assignment (CA) …

In a cognitive radio network (CRN), spectrum opportunities should be efficiently utilized
through careful coordination between cognitive radio (CR) users. In this paper, we formulate …
