Traditional distributed power control algorithms in cognitive radio networks are based on the assumption of perfect channel estimation which can lead to performance degradation in practical system. Cognitive radio sensor network (CRSN) has emerged as a promising solution to address the spectrum-related challenges of wireless sensor networks (WSN). Moreover, cognitive radio (CR) gives us a possibility to maximize the utilization efficiency of limited spectrum resources. However, because the wireless devices coexist in the same radio environment, there are harmful channel conflicts among users. First at all, this paper presents a practical model of cumulative interferences from the entire cognitive radio based industrial wireless sensor networks (CR-IWSN). Then, based on the interference model, we propose an intelligent power control scheme to address the communication requirements. The simulation results show that the proposed distributed power control scheme can efficiently increase the energy efficiencies as well as the throughput of the CR-IWSN compared with the existing protocols.

This paper investigates the outage behavior of peak interference power limited cognitive radio (CR) networks with multiple transmit antennas. In CR-multi-input single-output (MISO) channel, the total transmit power is distributed over the transmitantennas. First, we use the orthogonal space-time codes (STC) to achieve the transmit diversity at CR-receiver (rx) and investigate the effect of the power distribution on the interference power received at the primary-receiver (P-rx). Then, we investigate the transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme in which the CR system selects the best transmit antenna and allocates all the power to the selected best antenna. Two transmit antenna selection strategies are proposed depending on if feedback channel is available or not. We derive the closed form expressions of outage probability and outage capacity of all schemes with arbitrary number of transmit-antennas. We show that the proposed schemes significantly improve the outage capacity over the single antenna systems in Rayleigh fading environment. We also show that TAS based scheme outperforms the STC based scheme when peak interference power constraint is imposed on the P-rx only if a feedback channel from CR-rx to CR-transmitter is available.

The fixed spectrum assignment policy in today's wireless networks leads to inefficient spectrum usage. Cognitive radio network is a new communication paradigm that enables the unlicensed users to opportunistically use the spatio-temporally unoccupied portions of the spectrum, and hence realizing a dynamic spectrum access (DSA) methodology. Interference temperature model proposed by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permits the unlicensed users to utilize the licensed frequencies simultaneously with the primary users provided that they adhere to the interference temperature constraints. In this paper, we formulate two NP-hard optimal scheduling methods that meet the interference temperature constraints for cognitive radio networks. The first one maximizes the network throughput, whereas the second one minimizes the scheduling delay. Furthermore, we also propose suboptimal schedulers with linear complexity, referred to as maximum frequency selection (MFS) and probabilistic frequency selection (PFS). We simulate the throughput and delay performance of the optimal as well as the suboptimal schedulers for varying number of cognitive nodes, number of primary neighbors for each cognitive node, and interference temperature limits for the frequencies. We also evaluate the performance of our proposed schedulers under both additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channels and Gilbert-Elliot fading channels.

In this paper, we proposed the scheme in which the CR user can coexist with the primary user assumed to be 802.11b WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band without harming the primary user based on interference temperature. Based upon the systematic process introduced in this paper, the coexistence of CR user would be possible.

DWDM 필터와 같은 간섭필터는 밴드폭이 좁아지고 투과파장에 해당하는 채널의 수가 증가함에 따라 투과파장의 외부환경에 대한 안정성이 중요하다. 기존의 전자빔 증착법으로 증착된 유전체 다층박막은 일반적으로 미세기둥구조로 인해 낮은 조밀도를 가지기 때문에 외부의 습도나 온도 변화 등에 민감하다. 낮은 조밀도의 유전체 다층박막을 대기 중에 노출되었을 때, 대기 중의 습기가 기둥과 기둥 사이로 침투되어 유효굴절률의 증가로 인하여 박막의 광학두께가 증가하게 되고 결국 스펙트럼이 장파장으로 이동하게 된다. (중략)
