Implementation of dynamic spectrum allocation for cognitive radio networks based on iterative water filling in OMNeT++/MiXiM

چکیده
The growth in wireless technology and the increasing demand for wireless multimedia services creates a lack of spectrum. A potential solution to this issue is to allocate the spectrum dynamically by means of cognitive radio. Iterative Water Filling (IWF) can offer a practical solution to this dynamic spectrum allocation. Straightforward implementations of IWF in C/C++ or Matlab already exist. To our knowledge, this algorithm has not been studied yet in an eventdriven simulator such as OMNeT++/MiXiM. For the implementation of the IWF, it is required to have multiple sub-channels with an adjustable power for each of them. In this work, several existing MiXiM modules are extended in order to permit the use of multiple sub-channels for the communication between nodes. Moreover, new classes, maps and events are created for the implementation of the IWF algorithm. The implementation is validated through simulations of a scenario where two tactical radio networks coexist in the same area.

Improved coexistence between multiple cognitive tactical radio networks by an expert rule based on sub-channel selection
In this paper, we study the convergence behavior of the coexistence between multiple cognitive tactical radio networks. Each tactical radio network has one transmitter which broadcasts a common information to several receivers sharing the same parallel sub-channels and updates its power allocation autonomously from the other networks owing to a distributed dynamic spectrum management function b...

متن کاملImplementation of an adaptive energy-efficient MAC protocol in OMNeT++/MiXiM
In recent years, many MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks have been proposed and most of them are evaluated using Matlab simulator and/or network simulators (OMNeT++, NS2, etc). However, most of them have a static behavior and few network simulations are available for adaptive protocols. Specially, in OMNeT++/MiXiM, there are few energyefficient MAC protocols for WSNs (B-MAC & L-MAC) and...
