In this paper, we study the channel allocation problem in cognitive radio wireless mesh
networks (CR-WMNs). We aim at finding an allocation strategy that guarantees quality of …

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

Reliable spectrum sensing is the very task upon which the entire operation of the cognitive
radio rests. Energy detection is one of the solutions that have been proposed for enabling …

In this work, we consider the multicast problem in a single cell in a cognitive mesh network.
Due to the potential heterogeneity in channel availability among the members of a multicast …

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) that make opportunistic use of licensed spectrum (also
called Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks or CRAHNs) need to perform spectrum sensing …

In the era of Internet-of-things (IoT), the future 5G networks are supposed to provide
ubiquitous connectivity, high speed, as well as low latency and energy efficiency at low cost …

In cognitive radio (CR) wireless mesh networks (WMNs), wireless mesh routers work as
secondary users (SUs) that can opportunistically and intelligently access the idle licensed …

Cognitive radio technology enables unlicensed users (secondary users, SUs) to access the
unused spectrum. In the literature, there are three spectrum sharing paradigms that enable …

Recent development in wireless communications has lead to the problem of growing
spectrum shortage. Cognitive radio, as a novel technology, has been proposed in recent …

Empowered by the cognitive radio technology and motivated by the sporadic channel
utilization, both spatially and temporally, dynamic spectrum access networks, also referred to …
