Securing physical-layer communications for cognitive radio networks

An intelligent physical layer for cognitive radio networks

In this paper, we present an intelligent physical layer for cognitive mesh networks. It is well recognized that wireless mesh networks suffer from the inherent property of per hop delay attributed to store and forward routing and channel contention. We show that an intelligent physical layer coupled with efficient traffic engineering and channel allocation mechanism will reduce latency. In this...

Cognitive radio networks for tactical wireless communications

....... The modern battlefield is a demanding environment for tactical radio networks in that in addition to the variation in the wireless propagation environment, the radio must co-exist and contend with a high density of emitters having varying waveforms. Cognitive Radio (CR) is widely considered as a promising technology for providing the mechanisms to mitigate interference, and allow more f...

The Security of Physical Layer in Cognitive Radio Networks

—Cognitive Radio (CR) is a novel technology that promises to solve the lack of spectrum by allowing secondary users to use licensed band, so that they can coexist with primary users without causing interference to their communications. With the development of CR, extending to the level of network, cognitive radio networks (CRNs) emerge as the times require. Nowadays the operational aspects of ...
