Through the expeditious expansion of the wireless network, the unlicensed bandwidth-based devices are growing substantially as compared to the present vacant bandwidth. Cognitive radio networks present a proficient solution to the spectrum shortage diminution hitch by allowing the usage of the vacant part of the spectrum that is not currently in use of the Primary User licensed bandwidth to the secondary user or cognitive radio user. Spectrum management procedure in cognitive radio network comprises of spectrum sharing, sensing and handoff. Spectrum handoff plays a vital role in spectrum management and primarily focuses on single handoff strategies. This paper presents a primary user traffic pattern-based opportunistic spectrum handoff (PUTPOSH) approach to use in the cognitive radio networks. PUTPOSH permits a secondary user to sense the arrival of a primary user and use an opportunistic handoff scheme. The opportunistic handoff scheme firstly detects the arrival of the primary users by energy detection sensing and secondly, it allows a cognitive radio user to decide whether to do handoff or not contingent upon the overall service time to reduce the unused handoffs. The handoffs can either be reactive or proactive based on the arrival rate of the primary user. The simulation results show that the presented PUTPOSH approach (a) minimizes the number of handoffs and the overall service time, and (b) maintains the channel utilization and throughput of the system at a maximal point.

In cognitive radio networks spectrum sensing plays a vital role to identify the presence or absence of the primary user. In conventional spectrum sensing one secondary user will make a final decision regarding the availability of licensed spectrum. But Secondary user fail to make a correct detection about the presence of the primary user if he is in fading environment and it causes interference to the licensed users. Therefore to avoid interference to the licensed users and to make correct detection, number of samples is increased, Which increases the probability of detection. In this paper the optimization of samples is proposed to reduce the system overhead and also to increase the propagation time. Simulation results show the optimized value of samples for a given probability of false alarm and also the variation of probability of detection with optimized samples and false alarm is shown in the results. ABSTRAK: Dalam rangkaian radio kognitif, penginderaan spektrum memainkan peranan penting untuk mengenal pasti kehadiran atau ketiadaan pengguna utama. Dalam penginderaan spektrum konvensional, seorang pengguna sekunder akan membuat keputusan akhir mengenai ketersediaan spektrum berlesen. Tetapi pengguna Sekunder gagal membuat pengesanan yang betul mengenai kehadiran pengguna utama jika dia berada dalam persekitaran yang pudar dan menyebabkan gangguan kepada pengguna yang berlesen. Oleh itu untuk mengelakkan gangguan kepada pengguna berlesen dan membuat pengesanan yang betul, jumlah sampel meningkat, yang meningkatkan kemungkinan pengesanan. Dalam makalah ini pengoptimuman sampel dicadangkan untuk mengurangi overhead sistem dan juga untuk meningkatkan waktu penyebaran. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan nilai sampel yang dioptimumkan untuk kebarangkalian penggera palsu dan juga variasi kebarangkalian pengesanan dengan sampel yang dioptimumkan dan penggera palsu ditunjukkan dalam hasil.

Spectrum Handoff

Cognitive radio is an innovative technology in the field of wireless communication systems, aimed at significantly improving the use of the radio spectrum while allowing secondary users to access the spectral band opportunistically. Spectrum management mechanism ensures the transmission of data by controlling the efficiency of operation between the primary and secondary networks. The main task of spectrum management is to ensure that secondary users benefit from the spectrum without interfering with primary users. This paper deals with some of the important characteristics of spectrum mobility in the cognitive radio networks. The new management approaches of the mobility and the connection are designed to reduce the latency and loss of information during spectrum handoff, a list of channel safeguard is maintained in this effect, but the maintenance and update are a challenge. In this paper, we describe the reasons and mechanisms of spectrum handoff. Protocols have been developed to illustrate this handoff mechanism. We also make a comparison between the different methods of spectrum handoff. The simulation results obtained confirm that the protocols developed and the proposed method performed better than the pure reactive handoff method.

Limited Spectrum

Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) is the upcoming future prospect in 5G networks. Lack of available spectrum is a serious problem in the networking industry nowadays since, for each individual organization only a limited spectrum bandwidth is offered by National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The problem arises due to the increase in the number of users who are supposed to use a limited amount of available bandwidth. Using spectrum handoff allows a cognitive user to access the available licensed spectrum in the absence of the primary user in that particular channel. Efficient spectrum sensing has to be done to check the availability of unused spectrum holes. Machine learning models such as Markov model and Hidden Markov model are used to predict the probabilities. In this paper we have presented a model for efficient sensing using Baum-Welch algorithm, a neural network algorithm which can train inner layer channel traits for given sequence of switching services to yield accurate results without huge datasets. Following emission probabilities are obtained for the channels that are trained from transition probabilities of channel services such as video, voice and data. From the obtained probability values each channel can be offered with best suited services.

Minimum Performance

Cognitive radio (CR) is a promising solution to improve the spectrum utilization by enabling unlicensed users to exploit the spectrum in an opportunistic manner. Spectrum handoff is a different type of handoff in CR necessitated by the reappearance of primary user (PU) in the licensed band presently occupied by the secondary users (SUs). Spectrum handoff procedures aim to help the SUs to vacate the occupied licensed spectrum and find suitable target channel to resume the unfinished transmission. The purpose of spectrum mobility management in cognitive radio networks is to make sure that the transitions are made smoothly and rapidly such that the applications running on a cognitive user perceive minimum performance degradation during a spectrum handoff. In this paper, we will survey the literature on spectrum handoff in cognitive radio networks.
