چکیده

Wireless technology has seen a tremendous advancement in recent times. Overnight new researches are made and fascinating outcomes are accomplished. But it’s never imperative that such a technological growth in wireless system has offered numerous challenges to the research community. For improvement in the performance of wireless networks ‘cross-layer designing’ was coined. Many issues arouse for cross layer design. The situation became even tougher with new paradigm ‘cognitive networks’. Since cognitive networks are limited in performance by challenges in spectrum sensing, sharing, mobility, end to end Qos etc, a cross-layer design is worth pursuing. In this paper, we present an insight to cross-layer design first. Secondly, we introduce some of the approaches proposed in the literature followed by a short overview on classical optimization methodologies for cross-layering. Finally, an extensive survey on different schemes for performance enhancement is performed taking several recent works in literature. Tabulation is made systematically for quick reference.

A Review of Cross-layer Design in Dynamic Spectrum Access for Cognitive Radio Networks

Cognitive Radio (CR) is an intelligent radio that can dynamically access the radio spectrum. Secondary users in Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) can access the licensed spectrum without causing harmful interference to primary users. The performance of cognitive radio networking functionalities depends on the properties of the spectrum band in use. This necessitates a crosslayer design in the entir...

A survey on resource allocation techniques in OFDM(A) networks

In this contribution, we present a survey on the radio resource allocation techniques in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems. This problem goes back to 1960s and that is related to properly and efficiently allocate the radio resources, namely subcarriers and power. We start by overviewing the main open issues in OFD...
