Abstract
Cognitive radio techniques are becoming very popular to overcome the spectrum scarcity. For dynamic channel access, spectrum latency is a major bottleneck to achieve good QoS. In this paper, we have proposed distributed proactive channel scanning for different channel assignment policies of primary users (PUs). From periodic channel scanning, secondary users (SUs) store recent history of channel occupancy, and based on that decide the order of channel selection when demand comes, and switch channels proactively, if any better channel appears. For various channel allocation strategies of primary users, different channel selection algorithms are presented for secondary users to improve the spectrum latency as well as the channel switching overhead per call. Through simulation, the performance of the proposed strategies is compared with that of conventional cognitive radio. Results show that by the proposed scheme, the call drop/block rate decreases by more than \(30\%\) with significant reduction in interference, and hence improving the QoS of the system.
