Cognitive Radio Networks: Medium Access Control for Coexistence of Wireless Systems by Kaigui Bian and Jung-Min Park
English | 2014 | ISBN: 3319073281 | 141 pages | PDF |

This book gives a comprehensive overview of the medium access control (MAC) principles in cognitive radio networks, with a specific focus on how such MAC principles enable different wireless systems to coexist in the same spectrum band and carry out spectrum sharing.

From algorithm design to the latest developments in the standards and spectrum policy, readers will benefit from leading-edge knowledge of how cognitive radio systems coexist and share spectrum resources. Coverage includes cognitive radio rendezvous, spectrum sharing, channel allocation, coexistence in TV white space, and coexistence of heterogeneous wireless systems.

A brief summary of the contents of each chapter:

Chapter 1: Introduction. This chapter includes an introduction to a few challenging problems related to the medium access control (MAC) layer protocol design for coexistence of cognitive radio networks.

Chapter 2: Taxonomy of Coexistence Mechanisms. In this chapter, we discuss the background knowledge on existing coexistence mechanisms in wireless networks, and present a taxonomy that classifies the state-of-art research according to various criteria.

Chapter 3: Rendezvous of Cognitive Radios. This chapter presents two channel hopping-based rendezvous protocols, for clock synchronous and asynchronous cognitive radio networks, respectively.

Chapter 4: Coexistence-aware Spectrum Sharing for Homogeneous Cognitive Radio Networks. In this chapter, we present an inter base station (BS) Coexistence-Aware Spectrum Sharing protocol for improving the coexistence of
infrastructure-based homogeneous cognitive radio networks.

Chapter 5: Frequency Reuse Over a Single TV White Space Channel. In this chapter, we study the channel sharing problem where multiple network cells are forced to reuse a single TV white-space channel.

Chapter 6: Channel Assignment for Multi-hop Cognitive Radio Networks. In this chapter, we propose the segment-based channel assignment algorithm for single radio interface, multi-hop cognitive radio networks.

Chapter 7: Ecology-inspired Coexistence of Heterogeneous Cognitive Radio Networks. This chapter discusses challenges in heterogeneous coexistence mechanisms and proposes a mediation-based spectrum sharing mechanism for coexistence of heterogeneous wireless systems operating over the white-space.
