Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) are considered as a promising solution to the spectrum shortage problem in wireless communication. In this paper, we initiate the first systematic study on the algorithmic complexity of the connectivity problem in CRNs through spectrum assignments. We model the network of secondary users (SUs) as a potential graph, where two nodes having an edge between them are connected as long as they choose a common available channel. In the general case, where the potential graph is arbitrary and the SUs may have different number of antennae, we prove that it is NP-complete to determine whether the network is connectable even if there are only two channels. For the special case where the number of channels is constant and all the SUs have the same number of antennae, which is more than one but less than the number of channels, the problem is also NP-complete. For the special cases in which the potential graph is complete, a tree, or a graph with bounded treewidth, we prove the problem is NP-complete and fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) when parameterized by the number of channels. Exact algorithms are also derived to determine the connectability of a given cognitive radio network.

We investigate the parameterized complexity in $a$ and $b$ of determining whether a graph~$G$ has a subset of $a$ vertices and $b$ edges whose removal disconnects $G$, or disconnects two prescribed vertices $s, t in V(G)$.
Spectrum sensing is an essential enabling functionality for cognitive radio networks to detect spectrum holes and opportunistically use the under-utilized frequency bands without causing harmful interference to legacy networks. This paper introduces a novel wideband spectrum sensing technique, called multiband joint detection, which jointly detects the signal energy levels over multiple frequency bands rather than consider one band at a time. The proposed strategy is efficient in improving the dynamic spectrum utilization and reducing interference to the primary users. The spectrum sensing problem is formulated as a class of optimization problems in interference limited cognitive radio networks. By exploiting the hidden convexity in the seemingly non-convex problem formulations, optimal solutions for multiband joint detection are obtained under practical conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed spectrum sensing schemes can considerably improve the system performance. This paper establishes important principles for the design of wideband spectrum sensing algorithms in cognitive radio networks.

We study the query complexity of determining if a graph is connected with global queries. The first model we look at is matrix-vector multiplication queries to the adjacency matrix. Here, for an $n$-vertex graph with adjacency matrix $A$, one can que ry a vector $x in {0,1}^n$ and receive the answer $Ax$. We give a randomized algorithm that can output a spanning forest of a weighted graph with constant probability after $O(log^4(n))$ matrix-vector multiplication queries to the adjacency matrix. This complements a result of Sun et al. (ICALP 2019) that gives a randomized algorithm that can output a spanning forest of a graph after $O(log^4(n))$ matrix-vector multiplication queries to the signed vertex-edge incidence matrix of the graph. As an application, we show that a quantum algorithm can output a spanning forest of an unweighted graph after $O(log^5(n))$ cut queries, improving and simplifying a result of Lee, Santha, and Zhang (SODA 2021), which gave the bound $O(log^8(n))$. In the second part of the paper, we turn to showing lower bounds on the linear query complexity of determining if a graph is connected. If $w$ is the weight vector of a graph (viewed as an $binom{n}{2}$ dimensional vector), in a linear query one can query any vector $z in mathbb{R}^{n choose 2}$ and receive the answer $langle z, wrangle$. We show that a zero-error randomized algorithm must make $Omega(n)$ linear queries in expectation to solve connectivity. As far as we are aware, this is the first lower bound of any kind on the unrestricted linear query complexity of connectivity. We show this lower bound by looking at the linear query emph{certificate complexity} of connectivity, and characterize this certificate complexity in a linear algebraic fashion.
In this paper, a novel spectrum association approach for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) is proposed. Based on a measure of both inference and confidence as well as on a measure of quality-of-service, the association between secondary users (SUs) in the network and frequency bands licensed to primary users (PUs) is investigated. The problem is formulated as a matching game between SUs and PUs. In this game, SUs employ a soft-decision Bayesian framework to detect PUs signals and, eventually, rank them based on the logarithm of the a posteriori ratio. A performance measure that captures both the ranking metric and rate is further computed by the SUs. Using this performance measure, a PU evaluates its own utility function that it uses to build its own association preferences. A distributed algorithm that allows both SUs and PUs to interact and self-organize into a stable match is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the sum of SUs rates by up to 20 % and 60 % relative to the deferred acceptance algorithm and random channel allocation approach, respectively. The results also show an improved convergence time.
A new form of multiuser diversity, named emph{multiuser interference diversity}, is investigated for opportunistic communications in cognitive radio (CR) networks by exploiting the mutual interference between the CR and the existing primary radio (PR ) links. The multiuser diversity gain and ergodic throughput are analyzed for different types of CR networks and compared against those in the conventional networks without the PR link.
