In Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs), the secondary users (SUs) are allowed to access the licensed channels opportunistically. A fundamental and essential operation for SUs is to establish communication through choosing a common channel at the same time slot, which is referred to as rendezvous problem. In this paper, we study strategies to achieve fast rendezvous for two secondary users. The channel availability for secondary nodes is subject to temporal and spatial variation. Moreover, in a distributed system, one user is oblivious of the other users channel status. Therefore, a fast rendezvous is not trivial. Recently, a number of rendezvous strategies have been proposed for different system settings, but rarely have they taken the temporal variation of the channels into account. In this work, we first derive a time-adaptive strategy with optimal expected time-to-rendezvous (TTR) for synchronous systems in stable environments, where channel availability is assumed to be static over time. Next, in dynamic environments, which better represent temporally dynamic channel availability in CRNs, we first derive optimal strategies for two special cases, and then prove that our strategy is still asymptotically optimal in general dynamic cases. Numerous simulations are conducted to demonstrate the performance of our strategies, and validate the theoretical analysis. The impacts of different parameters on the TTR are also investigated, such as the number of channels, the channel open possibilities, the extent of the environment being dynamic, and the existence of an intruder.

Blind rendezvous is a fundamental problem in cognitive radio networks. The problem involves a collection of agents (radios) that wish to discover each other in the blind setting where there is no shared infrastructure and they initially have no knowl
edge of each other. Time is divided into discrete slots; spectrum is divided into discrete channels, ${1,2,..., n}$. Each agent may access a single channel in a single time slot and we say that two agents rendezvous when they access the same channel in the same time slot. The model is asymmetric: each agent $A_i$ may only use a particular subset $S_i$ of the channels and different agents may have access to different subsets of channels. The goal is to design deterministic channel hopping schedules for each agent so as to guarantee rendezvous between any pair of agents with overlapping channel sets. Two independent sets of authors, Shin et al. and Lin et al., gave the first constructions guaranteeing asynchronous blind rendezvous in $O(n^2)$ and $O(n^3)$ time, respectively. We present a substantially improved construction guaranteeing that any two agents, $A_i$, $A_j$, will rendezvous in $O(|S_i| |S_j| loglog n)$ time. Our results are the first that achieve nontrivial dependence on $|S_i|$, the size of the set of available channels. This allows us, for example, to save roughly a quadratic factor over the best previous results in the important case when channel subsets have constant size. We also achieve the best possible bound of $O(1)$ time for the symmetric situation; previous works could do no better than $O(n)$. Using the probabilistic method and Ramsey theory we provide evidence in support of our suspicion that our construction is asymptotically optimal for small size channel subsets: we show both a $c |S_i||S_j|$ lower bound and a $c loglog n$ lower bound when $|S_i|, |S_j| leq n/2$.
The Radio Environment Map (REM) provides an effective approach to Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). Previous results on REM construction show that there exists a tradeoff between the number of measurements (sensors) an
d REM accuracy. In this paper, we analyze this tradeoff and determine that the REM error is a decreasing and convex function of the number of measurements (sensors). The concept of geographic entropy is introduced to quantify this relationship. And the influence of sensor deployment on REM accuracy is examined using information theory techniques. The results obtained in this paper are applicable not only for the REM, but also for wireless sensor network deployment.
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.
Multicasting is a fundamental networking primitive utilized by numerous applications. This also holds true for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) which have been proposed as a solution to the problems that emanate from the static non-adaptive features o
f classical wireless networks. A prime application of CRNs is dynamic spectrum access (DSA), which improves the efficiency of spectrum allocation by allowing a secondary network, comprising of secondary users (SUs), to share spectrum licensed to a primary licensed networks comprising of primary users (PUs). Multicasting in CRNs is a challenging problem due to the dynamic nature of spectrum opportunities available to the SUs. Various approaches, including those based in optimization theory, network coding, algorithms, have been proposed for performing efficient multicast in CRNs. In this paper, we provide a self-contained tutorial on algorithms and techniques useful for solving the multicast problem, and then provide a comprehensive survey of protocols that have been proposed for multicasting in CRNs. We conclude this paper by identifying open research questions and future research directions.
Aerial base station (ABS) is a promising solution for public safety as it can be deployed in coexistence with cellular networks to form a temporary communication network. However, the interference from the primary cellular network may severely degrad
e the performance of an ABS network. With this consideration, an adaptive dynamic interference avoidance scheme is proposed in this work for ABSs coexisting with a primary network. In the proposed scheme, the mobile ABSs can reconfigure their locations to mitigate the interference from the primary network, so as to better relay the data from the designated source(s) to destination(s). To this end, the single/multi-commodity maximum flow problems are formulated and the weighted Cheeger constant is adopted as a criterion to improve the maximum flow of the ABS network. In addition, a distributed algorithm is proposed to compute the optimal ABS moving directions. Moreover, the trade-off between the maximum flow and the shortest path trajectories is investigated and an energy-efficient approach is developed as well. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is effective in improving the maximum network flow and the energy-efficient approach can save up to 39% of the energy for the ABSs with marginal degradation in the maximum network flow.
