Flexible Multicarrier PHY Design for Opportunistic Spectrum Access
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Opportunistic use of White Spaces (WS) has opened up a whole new paradigm in research on cognitive radio (CR). One of the issues addressed by the QoSMOS project is the design of a flexible and efficient physical layer (PHY) for CR systems. To this aim, different modulation techniques are being investigated and are presented in this paper. They fulfil the low out of band leakage and spectral efficiency requirements of a CR operating in fragmented WS. The design of reconfigurable and flexible radio-frequency (RF) front-end is also introduced, since its performance is tightly linked to these parameters and to the implementation feasibility and constraints. Emphasis is put on benchmarking the performance of the proposed schemes over classical approaches. Quality Of Service and MObility driven cognitive radio Systems

Joint Phy-mac Design for Opportunistic Spectrum Access with Multi-channel Sensing
This paper addresses the design of opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) where secondary users are allowed to sense and access multiple channels in the spectrum without causing unacceptable interference to primary users. Integrated in OSA design are a spectrum sensor at the physical (PHY) layer and a sensing and an access strategy at the MAC layer. Within the framework of partially observable Mar...
متن کاملJoint PHY-MAC Design for Opportunistic Spectrum Access in the Presence of Sensing Errors
We address the design of opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) strategies that allow secondary users to independently search for and exploit instantaneous spectrum availability. The design objective is to maximize the throughput of secondary users while limiting the probability of colliding with primary users. Integrated in the joint design are three basic components: a spectrum sensor at the phy...

− We study the performance of Non-Collision Packet Reservation Multiple Access (NC-PRMA) scheme as a MAC protocol for powerline communication networks. A PHY-MAC cross layer design is considered in order to provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for integrated voice, data and video services. System performance is evaluated via simulations in terms of packet dropping probability and mean ac...

In the field of wireless communication, a tremendous progress can be observed especially at the lower layers. Innovative physical layer (PHY) concepts and technologies can be rapidly assimilated in cellular networks. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs), on the other hand, cannot keep up with the speed of innovation at the PHY due to their flat and decentralized architecture. Many innovative PHY techn...
متن کاملGFDM - A Framework for Virtual PHY Services in 5G Networks
The next generation of wireless networks will face different challenges from new scenarios. The main contribution of this paper is to show that Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), as a baseline of flexible circular filtered multicarrier systems, can be used as a framework to virtualize the PHY service for the upper layers of 5G networks. This framework opens the possibility to a...
