After an introduction of cognitive radio (CR) technology in communication, the hot research topics are sensing, Primary User Interference (PUI), spectrum management, security, spectrum sharing, and environmental sensing. Among the listed, sensing and Primary User Interference are the bold ones. The base query for these two problems lays finding a means for which and what channel at a particular time is available and avoiding interference with Primary Users (PU). This article presents a novel cognitive radio algorithm called SenPUI for both mentioned main challenges, sensing and PUI. First, energy scan during the inactive portion of communication which is dynamic is done. Second, application packet based primary user identification for PUI avoidance is proposed as base solution. Both techniques described in this work are implemented and resulted in a significant reduction of the target problems estimated around 10-30% reduction in average. Main limitations of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) such as memory, battery lifetime, and size are considered during the design and implementation of our solutions.

Frequency spectrum is a limited resource and the increasing demand caused by emerging services, augmented number of wireless users along with the demand for high-quality multimedia applications have resulted in the overcrowding of the allocated spectrum bands. The overcrowding of spectrum bands has exacerbated by the current spectrum licensing policy which has emerged as a bottleneck to efficient spectrum utilization, due to its inflexibility, resulting in most of the licensed spectrum being severely under-utilized. However, the problem of scarcity of spectrum bands and the inefficient utilization of the already allocated radio spectrum can be smartly addressed through spectrum sharing by enabling opportunistic usage of the underutilized frequency bands. One of the most exciting ways of spectrum sharing is cognitive radio technology which allows a wireless node to sense the environment, detect the network changes, and then make intelligent decisions by dynamically changing its reception or transmission parameters to communicate while ensuring that no interference is affected to the licensed users. It thus improves the spectrum utilization by reusing the unused or underutilized spectrum owned by the incumbent systems (primary systems). In this paper, a comprehensive survey and review of recent research about the advances in cognitive radio technology will be carried out. We will also evaluate the various spectrum sensing techniques in a cognitive radio network in the UHF/VHF bands allocated for TV broadcasting.

The growing demands of radio spectrum urgently require more efficient and effective spectrum exploitation and management technologies. Cognitive radio technology and its networking not only explores the potential white spectrum resources temporally and geographically, but also enables an extensive efficient utilization and optimization of the current allocated spectrum resources. Therefore, rapid progress has been made in the research on cognitive radio and its networking technologies to facilitate more flexibilities in spectrum utilization and management. In this chapter, the authors first summarize the current various advanced and flexible spectrum management schemes, including spectrum trading, leasing, pricing, and harvesting, and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. Then, they take the viewpoints of both the spectrum marketing perspective and spectrum technical perspective, and they propose the centralized and distributed dynamic spectrum sharing schemes, respectively. In particular, the authors introduce many novel advanced spectrum sharing scheme and summarize the open and possible research problems.


The faster development of wireless communications has made the spectrum ending up with increasingly with more shortage. The idea of CR was proposed to meet the problem of spectrum effectiveness. In the cognitive networks, the SUs are permitted to detect, distinguish and access the frequency bands that are not at present used by the PU’s. the SU’s must outfit with the spectrum access information to use the primary user’s licence in the home region network. We propose a maximum throughput and power based cognitive radio for home region systems (HAN). At the point when there are different SU’s and numerous channels, spectrum sharing must be taken into account. In this paper we additionally propose a system of multiple channel sensing. We consider the interference to PU brought about by the dynamic access and the erroneous spectrum sensing technique. We investigate the obstruction brought about by the secondary user’s through a reestablishment hypothesis. Under the limitation of interference to primary user, the queuing theory is used to overcome this issue and to obtain the higher data rate of SU’s. finally, it is demonstrated that the cyclostationary detection method can be improved when extra channels are accessible.

A cognitive radio is an intelligent radio that can be programmed and configured dynamically. Its transceiver is designed to use the best wireless channels in its vicinity. Such a radio automatically detects available channels in the wireless spectrum, then accordingly changes its transmission or reception parameters to allow more concurrent wireless communications in a given spectrum band at one location. This process is a form of dynamic spectrum management. In recent years, the development of intelligent, adaptive wireless devices called cognitive radios, together with the introduction of secondary spectrum licensing, has led to a new paradigm in communications: cognitive networks. Cognitive networks are wireless networks that consist of several types of users: often a primary user and secondary users. These cognitive users employ their cognitive abilities to communicate without harming the primary users. The study of cognitive networks is relatively new and many questions are yet to be answered. This chapter furthers the study.

Abstract In digital agriculture, the cognitive radio technology is being envisaged as solution to spectral shortage problems by allowing agricultural cognitive users to co-exist with PU in the same spectrum on the field. Cognitive radios increase system capacity and spectral efficiency by sensing the spectrum and adapting the transmission parameters. This design requires a robust, adaptable and flexible physical layer to support cognitive radio functionality. In this paper, two different approaches are proposed to improve the application of cognitive radios in agriculture. A novel physical layer architecture for cognitive radio based on cognition, cooperation, and cognitive interference avoidance has been developed by using power control for digital agriculture applications. The design is based on sensing of spectrum usage, detecting the message/spreading code of PU, cognitive relaying, cooperation, and cognition of channel parameters. Moreover, the power and rate allocation, ergodic, and outage capacity formulas are also presented. Furthermore, a two-hop load balancing approach is presented using a cognitive radios as a relay node in the network to improve throughput and optimize the load between different area of an agricultural field.

Cognitive radio has proved to be an efficient and promising technology for the future of wireless networks. Its major and fundamental aim is to utilize the spectrum bands which are not efficiently exercised. These bands can be accessed using Opportunistic Spectrum Access (OSA), by a secondary user only when primary user is not transmitting over the channel. Cognitive radio manages spectrum through its cognitive radio cycle, which performs a set of management functions such as, spectrum sensing, spectrum assignment, spectrum sharing and spectrum mobility/handoff. During this cycle, at several stages, cognitive radio is very much vulnerable to security attacks. This is also due to the exposed nature of cognitive radio architecture. One such security attack which has not been much explored and can cause serious security issues is Cognitive User Emulation Attack (CUEA). This attack is expected to occur at the time of spectrum handoff. In this article the reason of occurrence of CUEA is explained along with counter measures to prevent this threat in the network by implementing trust mechanism using fuzzy logic. The proposed system is simulated and analyzed using MATLAB tool.
