Extended Abstract: Towards Context-Aware Wireless Spectrum Agility
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spectrum agility (SA) is a novel way of improving spectrum utilization efficiency and making greater bandwidth available to network applications. Despite its advantages, the fundamental operations (e.g., periodic spectrum sensing) involved in realizing SA can also adversely affect application performance. We propose Context-Aware Spectrum Agility (CASA), which uses application hints together with the current channel condition to adapt key SA parameters. Our preliminary evaluation shows that CASA improves throughput by 35%, and is also more effective in meeting application demands than conventional SA.

Application-aware dynamic spectrum access
Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) allows unlicensed wireless devices to opportunistically access unoccupied licensed spectrum bands. DSA yields efficient spectrum utilization which can greatly improve wireless networking performance. In this paper, we advocate application-awareness to effectively manage the sideeffects of DSA that can offset its benefits by adversely impacting application QoS. Simp...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...

Demand-driven spectrum allocation can drastically improve performance for WiFi access points struggling under increasing user demands. While their frequency agility makes cognitive radios ideal for this challenge, performing adaptive spectrum allocation is a complex and difficult process. In this work, we propose FLEX, an efficient spectrum allocation architecture that efficiently adapts to dyn...
متن کاملContext-Aware Wireless Ubiquitous Computing
Marc Weiser's vision [1] on ubiquitous computing includes the demand for wireless solutions towards a large scale inter-connected environment where all participating nodes are acting autonomously, but transparent to the user. Context-aware computing is one technology to support wireless ubiquitous computing as it enables services and applications in the wireless communication environment to ben...
