Abstract

Cognitive radio technology significantly delivers solution to the problem of congested spectrum by exploiting radio spectrum unused by licensed users. The cognitive radio network consists of a number of channels and a group of unlicensed secondary users (SUs), which are ready to access the channel when the licensed primary users (PUs) are idle. To improve the performance of the cognitive radio network, spectrum handoff can be considered. This paper presents a proactive spectrum handoff-based medium access control protocol that is designed for cognitive radio ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol ensures to enable the SUs of the cognitive network for better accessibility and more flexibility with better performance.
