Spectrum sensing and energy detection in cognitive networks

Abstract

<span>It is worth mentioning that the use of wireless systems has been increased in recent years and supposed to highly increase in the few coming years because of the increasing demands of wireless applications such as mobile phones, Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensors networks (WSNs), mobile applications and tablets. The scarcity of spectrum needs to be into consideration when designing a wireless system specially to answer the two following questions; how to use efficiently the spectrum available for the available networks in sharing process and how to increase the throughput delivered to the serving users. The spectrum sharing between several types of wireless networks where networks are called cognitive networks is used to let networks cooperate with each other by borrowing some spectrum bands between them especially when there is an extra band that is not used. In this project, the simulation of spectrum sensing and sharing in cognitive networks is performed between two cognitive networks. This project discusses the performance of probability of energy detected (Pd) with different values of false alarm (Pf) and Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR) values to evaluate the performance of the sensing and sharing process in cognitive networks. The results show that when the request of sharing spectrum increased, the full sharing process occurs for a long time and the error rate decreases for small values of SNR.</span>

Performance investigations of internet protocol versions for mobile Ad-hoc network based on qualnet simulator

“…A route to the target is created by every intermediate node that has received the RREP, while the unicasting of the RREP toward the source occurs hop-by-hop. At the time when the source node receives the RREP, the establishment of routes between the source and destination are emplaced [25,26]. This paper focuses on the investigation of the performance of AODV and DYMO routing protocols in Mobile ad hoc network based on IPv4 and IPv6 internet protocols and to analysis the functionality of internet protocols in terms of network performance.…”

Fiber optics based schemes modeling and simulation of QoS for Wi-Fi scenarios using OPNET modeler

“…-Bandwidth: the various standards can be adhered to in air channel. However, the speed of using air channel is slow because of the effect which the required protocols have on the transmission of user information through air channel [19,20]. More so, environmental conditions affect the quality of communication between the access point and a terminal by adjusting the communication width.…”
