In this paper, we propose new location privacy preserving schemes for database-driven
cognitive radio networks that protect secondary users'(SUs) location privacy while allowing …

This paper proposes energy and cross-layer aware resource allocation techniques that
allow dynamic spectrum access (DSA) users, by means of learning algorithms, to locate and …

Abstract 5G wireless networks will support massive connectivity mainly due to device‐to‐
device communications. An enabling technology for device‐to‐device links is the dynamical …

Cognitive communication networks, or simply cognitive networks (CNs), are one of the
enabling technologies for next generation networks. Through dynamic spectrum access …

In this paper, we propose new location privacy preserving schemes for database-driven
cognitive radio networks (CRN s) that protect secondary users'(SU s) location privacy while …

The rapid population growth in large urban cities has led to an unprecedented increase in
both the number and the diversity of wireless devices and applications with varying quality of …

As the number of wireless devices, the demand for high data rates, and the need for always-
on connectivity are growing and becoming more stringent with the evolvement and …

In this thesis, we propose a Blockchain-based distributed protocol for enabling deployment
of dynamic, on-demand IoT networks. Specifically, the proposed protocol leverages …

The scarcity of wireless spectrum resources and the overwhelming demand for wireless
broadband resources have prompted industry, government agencies and academia within …

Cognitive radio technology emerges as a promising solution for overcoming shortage and
inefficient use of spectrum resources. In cognitive radio networks, secondary users, which …
