    Abstract: In a cognitive radio system, when communication in an operational channel is determined to be discontinued due to that an incumbent user (IU) entering the operational channel that is currently being used or due to that an excessive interference occurring in the operational channel, the operational channel is switched to a pre-arranged channel. However, since some parameters are different between the operational channel and the pre-arranged channel, an initialization procedure has to be performed to allow the cognitive radio system to be adapted to those some parameters. Since an initialization technique aiming for this situation is not developed yet, a conventional cognitive radio system uses a general initialization technique used to initially operate a system. However, the general initialization technique has to allow the system to be adapted to many parameters so that it takes a relatively long initialization time. A channel switching apparatus and method thereof of a base station, which allocates a slot for data exchange with each of a plurality of terminals in a frequency channel that is not used by the IU and thus performs communication, include transmitting a channel switching message for requesting to switch to a backup channel when a signal of the IU is sensed in the frequency channel; transmitting a beacon frame via the backup channel, wherein the beacon frame comprises allocation information about slots which are in the frequency channel and which are respectively allocated to each of the plurality of terminals; and allocating the slot for data exchange with each of the plurality of terminals to the backup channel according to the allocation information, and communicating with each of the plurality of terminals. By doing so, frequency resources between each of networks can be efficiently used, and convenience and efficiency with respect to network operation can be maximized.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of assigning a frequency channel using efficient spectrum sensing in a multiple Frequency Assignment (FA) system. The method includes a channel sensing process, wherein a base station (BS) of a secondary user classifies multiple frequency channels licensed to a primary user into a plurality of channel state sets according to usage states, periodically senses channel states by changing a sensing period according to the types of classified channel state sets, and manages the sensed channel states as frequency channel state set information; a channel state set broadcasting process, wherein the BS transmits the frequency channel state set information managed in the channel sensing process to secondary user terminals using a broadcast message; and a channel assigning process, wherein if the BS receives a channel assignment request message from a new secondary user terminal which has received the broadcast message, the BS assigns an unused frequency channel from among frequency channels licensed to the primary user to the new secondary user terminal using the frequency channel state set information. Accordingly, a frequency channel can be assigned to a secondary user requesting channel assignment using frequency channel state set information without a primary user experiencing interference noise.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of generating a pilot pattern capable of perform adaptive channel estimation, and a method and apparatus of a base station and a method and apparatus of a terminal using the pilot pattern. The pilot pattern selects pilot symbol positions based on distances from pilots of previous orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbols to a subcarrier position of a current OFDMA symbol in the frequency domain and the time domain, so that a low pilot density is maintained so as to effectively transmit data, and stable channel estimation performance can be obtained even in a bad channel environment. In addition, the minimum burst allocation size is determined according to the channel environment between the base station and the terminal, guaranteeing channel estimation performance suitable for the channel environment, and improving granularity, channel estimation latency, and channel estimation memory size.

    Abstract: A method for managing a channel set for dynamic channel allocation, and a system for performing the method. The method includes predicting a channel state and a channel quality on a vacant channel based on channel information that is obtained by spectrum sensing and communication protocol. The predicting includes modeling an occupation pattern of the vacant channel to calculate a probability in which an incumbent user (IU) licensed to use the vacant channel appears on the vacant channel. The method also includes evaluating reliability on the prediction result, and giving a priority to the vacant channel based on the evaluated reliability.
