The spectral efficiency in networks based on cognitive radio (CR) technology can be compromised if the radio is used for a long time for the detection instead of data transmission. So it becomes necessary sensing schemes that have the purpose of obtaining the maximum possible use of spectrum, avoiding unnecessary sensing, as well as obtaining a minimum of interference in the transmission of the primary user due to incorrect detection of its transmission. In this paper, we propose the use of genetic algorithms for the adaptation of the sensing period. The goal is to obtain an optimal channels sensing period in order to maximize the discovery of spectrum opportunities and minimize the overhead due to the sensing. Most related works to this issue adopt fixed sensing overhead, not taking into account that some channels may have less tolerance to interference than others. The proposal presented in this work can adapt to the requirements of tolerance to interference with licensed channel by determining a period of sensing that optimizes the opportunities for any set amount of overhead. Our proposal achieves a gain up to 90% compared to nonoptimized techniques in terms of the number of opportunities found up to 40.9% gain in useful transmission and obtained a reduction in the time of interference of 66.83%. In addition, our proposal also achieves similar results to those obtained by an optimized proposal in the literature, with the advantage of allowing the adaptation of the sensing overhead.

Handoff de espectro em redes baseadas em rádio cognitivo utilizando redes neurais artificiais

Nowadays, the radio spectrum is one of the most important natural resources in the world. According to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) report, the licensed bands are abundant but poorly utilized. The Cognitive Radio (CR) technology aims improving the spectral efficiency through the opportunistic access to the electromagnetic spectrum. It enables that new applications based on wireless communications are supported, without causing interference at the licensed communication and trying to ensure the quality of service to the applications. Thus, the efficient spectrum handoff is a critical requirement to be taken into account for the success of CR systems. This work outlines concepts about the cognitive radio technology. It proposes and evaluates a proactive strategy based on Artificial Neural Networks for spectrum handoff in CR networks. The performance of the proposal regarding the inference level to the primary user, spectrum handoff number triggered by secondary user and spectral utilization is compared with that one obtained by a reactive scheme. Differently from previous works, this study considers measured traces made available by IEEE Dyspan 2008 in order to evaluate our proposal. Numerical results show the superiority of the proposed scheme.
