Extensive Investigation And Research On Cognitive Radio Systems
Abstract
In this paper Specifies, how effectively utilization of radio spectrum is important for accommodating the rapid
growth of wireless communications. In this paper extensive investigates the feasibility of Cognitive Radio (CR) or Adaptive
Radio or Intelligent Radio to exploit unoccupied frequencies for an enhanced spectral utilisation. CR refers to a wireless
architecture that enables dynamic spectrum access, where unlicensed devices are allowed to operate in temporally/spatially
unused licensed channels. The main challenge for CR is a robust protection mechanism to guarantee an adequate Licensed
Users (LU) system performance at all times. This requires a reliable spectrum sensing technique to accurately identify
frequency opportunities; and an autonomous transmit power control algorithm that remains effective in severe fading
environments. Cooperation among CR devices to assist the LU identification process is shown to be an imperative CR
attribute for maximising the CR performance and the overall spectral utilisation. Cooperation is particularly important for a
CR coexisting with a small-coverage LU system, in which an accurate LU detection mechanism is the predominant limiting
factor of CR system performance. The consequences of insufficient CR collaborations are an expensive individual CR
detector and a large CR-LU separation requirement, yielding a suboptimal gain in spectral utilisation. The effectiveness of
cooperative detection largely depends on system application, channel characteristics, and CR detector sensitivity. The
feasibility of CR is evaluated via a simulated CR model using the achievable CR system performance and the corresponding
operational requirements as performance metrics.
