Improving the quality of service for users in cognitive radio network using priority queueing analysis

Abstract

The usage of the radio spectrum for wireless communication is considered to be inefficient. Therefore, through cognitive radio, unlicensed users can occupy idle spectrum bands without interference with the primary user. Generally, when the arrival rate of licensed users is high, secondary users may starve. In this paper, we propose two models to improve the average total waiting time for the secondary user. They are the M/D/1 model of a primary user delay system with non-pre-emptive priority and pre-emptive priority. They are compared to an M/D/1 model with primary user delay. Numerical analysis and Monte Carlo simulation are performed for all results. Improvements in the average total waiting time of 13%-18% for primary user and 24%-32% for secondary user in the non-pre-emptive priority scheme are obtained. In the pre-emptive priority scheme, 19%-22% and 5%-7% improvement are obtained for the primary and secondary user respectively. Furthermore, same models, but with finite buffer capacity for both users are investigated to model a real-time system. In these schemes, the system improves the average total waiting time by 20%-42% for the primary user and 34%-42% for the cognitive radio with non-pre-emptive priority. Similarly, the pre-emptive model shows 25%-44% and 6%-24% reduction in the primary and secondary user waiting times respectively.

An Emergent Self-Awareness Module for Physical Layer Security in Cognitive UAV Radios

“…While there is a rich literature on CR focusing on spectrum sensing and dynamic spectrum access, there have been few studies on the original vision of CR in being Self-Aware. As claimed in [5], [21] and [22], the original vision of CR goes beyond the spectrum sensing (which is, of course, one of the main components of the cognition cycle) and aims to improve Quality of Service (QoS) [23], Quality of Information (QoI) [24] and optimizing the wireless users' configuration [10]. Several recent studies (as in [10] and [11]) tried to highlight this fact by spotting the light on the original vision of CR and focusing on new functionalities rather than spectrum sensing, encouraged by the recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods and their effectiveness in achieving detection, classification and prediction tasks that can empower the CR realization and support it to effectuate the desired functionalities.…”

A delay-aware spectrum handoff scheme for prioritized time-critical industrial applications with channel selection strategy

“…Nonetheless, some literatures have considered a CR user priority challenges. In [19][20][21][22][23], a CR user priority in CRNs have been discussed. However, most CR user priority-schemes usually permit higher priority CR users to always interrupt lower priority CR users, leading to frequent SHs and resulting in a degraded network performance, particularly in high traffic networks.…”

Physical-Layer-Security-Oriented Frequency Allocation in Ultra-Dense-Networks Based on Location Informations

“…With the era of mobile Internet around the corner, a vast number of data services have poured into the network, claiming more consideration on the burst traffic. Without loss of generality, an M/D/1 queue model with packet generation rate λ and service rate µ per subchannel is taken into account [31], [32]. The probability of a failure transmission of an SUE u l on subchannel n has a similar expression to that of the eavesdropper and from (9) we can get…”
