MAC Layer Protocols for Cognitive Radio Networks
Abstract
In the last few decades, the Cognitive Radio (CR) paradigm has received huge interest from industry and academia. CR is a promising approach to solve the spectrum scarcity problem. Moreover, various technical issues still need to be addressed for successful deployment of CRNs, especially in the MAC layer. In this chapter, a comprehensive survey of the Medium Access Control (MAC) approaches for CRN is presented. These MAC technologies under analysis include spectrum sharing, multiple antenna techniques, cooperation, relays, distributed systems, network convergence, mobility, and network self-optimization. Moreover, various classifications of MAC protocols are explained in this chapter on the basis of some parameters, like signaling technique, type of architecture, sharing mode, access mode, and common control channel. Additionally, some case studies of 802.11, 802.22, and Mobile Virtual Node Operator (MVNO) are also considered for the case study. The main objective of this chapter is to assist CR designers and the CR application engineers to consider the MAC layer issues and factors in the early development stage of CRNs.
