Abstract

In this chapter, we will design distributed spectrum access mechanism based on imitation, which is also a common phenomenon in many social animal and human interactions [1].

Notes

  1. 1.

    For ease of exposition, we adopt the backoff mechanism as an example. Our analysis can apply to many other medium access control (MAC) schemes such as TDMA.

  2. 2.

    Note that in general the length of a mini-slot is much smaller than the length of spectrum sensing and access period in a time slot. For example, for IEEE 802.11af systems (also known as WhiteFi Networks), the length of a mini-slot is \(4\) microseconds and the spectrum sensing duration is \(0.5\) milliseconds [7].

  3. 3.

    There are several approaches for establishing a common control channel in cognitive radio networks, e.g., sequence-based rendezvous [11], adaptive channel hopping [12] and user grouping [13]. Please refer to [14] for a comprehensive survey on the research of common control channel establishment in cognitive radio networks.
