How to determine an optimal topology is extremely important during the spectrum decision procedure for a cognitive radio network. In a multi-transceiver cognitive radio network, transceivers of a cognitive user will work in a parallel mode, by which the throughput of the network can be increased. Each cognitive user working in such mode should keep electromagnetic compatible (EMC), which will increase the time-complexity of spectrum decision dramatically. In order to solve this problem, an approximate decision model with lower time complexity is given. To evaluate the reliability of the approximate model, a method for EMC probability analysis is presented, which covers co-channel/adjacent channel interference, harmonic interference and intermodulation interference. With a network scene under development, both a theoretic EMC probability and a simulated estimation value are obtained and the good consistency between both results shows that the method is practicable in engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
