Spectrum inference, also known as spectrum prediction in the literature, is a promising
technique of inferring the occupied/free state of radio spectrum from already …

In order to provide meaningful data about spectrum use, occupancy measurements
describing the utilization rate of a specific frequency band should be conducted over a …

Spectrum occupancy models are very useful in cognitive radio designs. They can be used to
increase spectrum sensing accuracy for more reliable operation, to remove spectrum …

This paper summarizes some of the results of measurements and related analysis efforts at
the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Spectrum Observatory in Chicago over the past three …

Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) has been introduced as a promising technology that allows
a secondary system to access the licensed spectrum of the primary system to improve …

Duty cycle (DC) and channel occupancy rate (COR) measurements are important to
characterize the availability of white space for cognitive radio systems (CRSs). The COR is …

Channel occupancy rate (COR) is the fraction of the time that a channel is occupied, ie,
contains signal (s) in addition to noise. Estimation of COR is important, eg, in cognitive radio …

This paper describes the current efforts underway to set up matched long-term continuously
running spectrum observatories in the US (in Chicago and Blacksburg) and in Turku …

Aim: We set out to investigate the benefit of the “memory” of long short term memory (LSTM)
networks in predicting spectrum occupancy in multiple time horizons in Land Mobile Radio …

In this study, the authors propose a reliability‐based cooperative decision fusion scheme
which considers the reliability of the secondary users (SUs') local decisions when making a …
