چکیده
Cognitive radio technology gets much attention of wireless network research environments as a new way to utilize the precious spectrum efficiently. IEEE 802.22, Wireless Regional Area Network, is the first international standard based on cognitive radio technology which intends to provide broadband access by utilizing unused TV channels, also known as TV white spaces. This standard provides PHY and MAC layers functionalities in an infrastructure-based wireless access network. In this article, we describe overview of 802.22 standard from MAC perspective and discuss research challenges related to it. We mainly discuss for two research issues, QoS and coexistence.

A Survey on Rural Broadband Wireless Access Using Cognitive Radio Technology: IEEE 802.22 Wireless Regional Area Networks
The previous and most popular broadband wireless technology i.e. WiMAX which is limited about to 10 miles, there are power and line of sight issues yet to be resolved for a broader coverage area. WiMAX deployment is therefore limited to densely populate metropolitan areas. What about rural and sparsely populated, geographically dispersed regional areas? Here is the upcoming solution for that wh...
متن کاملModelling and Performance Evaluation of Physical Layer of Wireless Regional Area Networks (IEEE 802.22) over AWGN Channel
The IEEE 802.22 stands for Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN). WRAN uses the white spaces & unused VHF & UHF TV Bands. Cognitive Radio (CR) is a key to develop such a wireless standard. It is based on Time division multiplexing and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access. WRAN is developed for rural areas where utilization can be very low. In this paper we provide a detail overview of ...
