Motivated by applications in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks, we focus on a system in
which a few agents are engaged in a costly individual exploration process where each …

The emergence of intelligent transport systems has brought out a new set of requirements
on wireless communication. To cope with these requirements, several proposals are …

This article studies the performance of decision-based cooperative spectrum sensing using
random medium access. Unlike scheduled medium access, random medium access entails …

In this PhD dissertation, we propose distributed adaptation mechanisms for connected
vehicles to deal with the connectivity challenges. To understand the system behavior of the …

The increasing demand of vehicular network oriented applications (both safety and non-
safety related services) would undoubtedly lead to shortage of spectral resource which is a …

Cognitive radio (CR) vehicular networks are poised to opportunistically use the licensed
spectrum for high bandwidth inter-vehicular messaging, driver-assist functions, and …

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a very promising technique for high
data rate transmission in multipath channels. In general, the achievable data rate of an …

In vehicular networks, accidents and congestions constitute a significant risk due to
numerous cause such as short link lifetime, spectrum competence and high mobility. Further …

Nowadays several mobile applications connect to the internet through 2G/3G/LTE, which are
becoming more crowded. Cognitive wireless networks have been proposed as a possible …

Cognitive radio can be applied to a multitude of domains, one of which is M2M
communication. Specifically, M2M communication refers to communication between devices …
