The rapid progression in wireless networking has raised the demand of extra spectrum
bands. The current fixed spectrum allocation policy used by the government agencies is …

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have emerged as an essential technology to enable
dynamic and opportunistic spectrum access which aims to exploit underutilized licensed …

In this paper, we present an analytical framework to evaluate the latency performance of
connection-based spectrum handoffs in cognitive radio (CR) networks. During the …

Cognitive Radio (CR) technology is a promising solution to enhance the spectrum utilization
by enabling unlicensed users to exploit the spectrum in an opportunistic manner. Since …

This article proposes an optimal coordinated scheduling of electric vehicles (EVs) for a
virtual power plant (VPP) considering communication reliability. Recent advancements on …

In this paper, we will investigate the spectrum handoff schemes for the cognitive radio
networks. Spectrum handoff occurs when the primary users appear and the secondary users …

In this paper, we present an analytical framework to design system parameters for load-
balancing multiuser spectrum decision schemes in cognitive radio (CR) networks. Unlike the …

We consider a cognitive radio system with one secondary user (SU) accessing multiple
channels via periodic sensing and spectrum handoff. We propose an optimal spectrum …

In this paper, we propose an intelligent and distributed channel selection strategy for
efficient data dissemination in multi-hop cognitive radio network. Our strategy, SURF …

Enabling the spectrum handoff for multimedia applications in cognitive radio networks
(CRNs) is challenging, due to multiple interruptions from primary users (PUs), contentions …
