A Directional Cognitive-Radio-Aware MAC Protocol for Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks

چکیده
Recently, cognitive radio (CR) technology is broadly applied even to sensor networks. Cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs) have been studied and, apparently, sensor nodes equipped with directional antennas achieve higher energy efficiency. This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol named directional CR-aware MAC (DC-MAC) for CRSNs. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first work to propose a MAC protocol for CRSNs with directional antennas. The simulation study shows that DC-MAC is more energy efficient than the conventional protocol by 50%–60% for the RMF TR 1001 transceiver and by 20%–50% for the Bluetooth transceiver.

A Sensing Error Aware MAC Protocol for Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive radios (CR) are intelligent radio devices that can sense the radio environment and adapt to changes in the radio environment. Spectrum sensing and spectrum access are the two key CR functions. In this paper, we present a spectrum sensing error aware MAC protocol for a CR network collocated with multiple primary networks. We explicitly consider both types of sensing errors in the CR MA...

Cognitive Radio (CR) technology has gained popularity in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) because of scarcity caused by the increase in number of wireless devices and service, and it provides spectrumefficient communication for the resource constrained WSNs. However, appropriate protocols have to be devised to satisfy the requirements of both WSNs and CRs and to enjoy the benefits of cognition in...

متن کاملA Multiconstrained QoS Aware MAC Protocol for Cluster-Based Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks
Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) work over the unlicensed spectrum, and as the spectrum becomes increasingly crowded, they suffer from uncontrolled interference. Recently, cognitive radio based sensor networks (CRSNs) have been envisioned as a promising type of implementation that provides quality-of-service (QoS) features for data transmissions. However, key challenges remain in des...
متن کاملInterference-Aware Hybrid MAC protocol for Cognitive Radio Ad-Hoc Networks with Directional Antennas
CR and PU hidden terminals in multi-channel Cognitive MAC protocols result in increased packet drops. This is due to inefficient node synchronization with existing “Control Channel” design. To date, In-band and Out-of-band CCC based MAC protocols are proposed to avoid PU and CR hidden terminals. But, In-band CCC based CR-MAC protocols cannot efficiently resolve the hidden terminal packet drops ...
