Due to that the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology has some attractive features like robustness to multipath fading, high data rate, low cost and low power consumption, it is widely use to implement cognitive radio network. Intuitively, one of the most important tasks required for cognitive network is the spectrum sensing. A framework for implementing spectrum sensing for UWB-Cognitive Network wi...

An important first step when deploying a wireless ad hoc network is neighbor discovery in which every node attempts to determine the set of nodes it can communicate within one wireless hop. In the recent years, cognitive radio (CR) technology has gained attention as an attractive approach to alleviate spectrum congestion. A cognitive radio transceiver can operate over a wide range of frequencie...

In the past decade the cognitive radio paradigm received great attention from academia and industry as a promising approach to solve the spectrum shortage problem. In spite of the intense research activity in the field of cognitive radio, we still register a limited number of network implementations based upon the cognitive radio principles. In this work, we present the design and implementatio...

In this research paper a technique is introduced to improve Bit Error Rate in cognitive radio. In this paper the FHSS of 32-bit and DSSS of 16-bit is implemented in the network. After implementation of proposed technique results are produced which shown that the proposed approach is far better than that of existing work to reduce BER in a network. Network consists of both wired and wireless top...

Cognitive radio is a transforming and revolutionary technology that represents a paradigm shift in the design of wireless systems, as it allows agile and efficient utilization of the radio spectrum by offering the ability of radio sensing, self-adaptation, and dynamic spectrum sharing. In this paper the use of cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio systems to enhance the reliability of...

This paper, focus on the performance evaluation of cognitive radio network in terms of BER VS SNR for M-ary PSK modulation schemes, such as BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-PSK, 32-PSK, and 64-PSK over AWGN and Rician fading channel. The cognitive radio network was designed firstly as a computer model showing the sequence of processes in cognitive radio system and then the Simulation of cognitive radio wo...

In this paper, we propose a new approach based on Cognitive Radio technology to address the challenges for ensuring connectivity in remote areas of Africa. Indeed, the current network coverage is concentrated around the cities with high density of population. Through the deployment of Cognitive Radio, emergency services in rural areas will benefit from low cost access networks. Cognitive Radio ...

Dynamic spectrum management is one of the key technologies in cognitive radio networks, and more and more researchers have been paying much attention to algorithms and models for Spectrum sharing. In this paper, we present a dynamic spectrum management application model based on potential game. Firstly, the mapping relationship is constructed for sections in cognitive radio network and game the...
