A green-energy-powered cognitive radio (CR) network is capable of liberating the wireless
access networks from spectral and energy constraints. The limitation of the spectrum is …

In this paper, we present an analytical framework to evaluate the effects of multiple spectrum
handoffs on channel utilization and latency performances in cognitive radio (CR) networks …

Cognitive radio is emerging as one of the key information transmission technologies to
enhance spectrum efficiency for dramatically increased wireless network capacity requested …

An efficient and utmost utilization of currently scarce and underutilized radio spectrum
resources has stimulated the introduction of what has been coined Cognitive Radio (CR) …

We develop a dynamic spectrum access (DSA) strategy for cognitive radio networks where
prioritized traffic is considered. Assume that there are three classes of traffic, one traffic class …

A smart utility network (SUN), as defined in the IEEE 802.15. 4g standard, is an emerging
technology enabling reliable data transmissions in smart grid (SG) neighbourhood area …

For session-level quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), it
is essential to adopt an effective admission control scheme with appropriate parameters. In …

Most existing studies on cognitive-radio networks assume that cognitive users (CUs) can
switch to any available channel, regardless of the frequency gap between a target channel …

Abstract The Fifth Generation (5G) of wireless communication systems is expected to meet a
large demand for mobile traffic and provide higher data rates, supporting bandwidth-hungry …

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are considered a promising solution for spectrum
resources scarcity and efficient channel utilization. In this letter, multi-dimensional analytical …
