Spatio-temporal techniques for network modeling and cross-layer design in cognitive radio networks

Abstract

Communication networks, and especially the wireless ones, are often influenced by the dynamicallychanging conditions of the network environment, hence, introducing dependencies in both time andspace dimensions. This phenomenon becomes even more prominent in next generation wirelessnetworks that exploit dynamic spectrum access schemes and cognitive radio technology. For thatreason, this thesis focuses on cognitive radio networks and investigates network modeling techniquesthat inherently take into account any existing spatiotemporal dependencies.The conducted spectrum occupancy survey in the metropolitan area of Athens demonstrates the actualpicture of radio spectrum, unveils practical difficulties in spectrum sensing methodologies andhighlights the existence of discontinuities in spectrum occupancy both in space and time dimensions.To improve cognitive radio users awareness, an inference methodology is described towards extractingvaluable information and useful statistical properties o ...
