Abstract:
Provided is a power control method, etc., in cognitive radio communication, by which power control can be effectively performed without a large indirect cost. In the power control method, a target value of SNR is estimated on the basis of the control information relating to interference. Subsequently, communication power used for the cognitive radio communication is adjusted on the basis of the estimated target value of SNR. Thereby, power control can be effectively performed without a large indirect cost.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to provision of a channel adjusting method capable of suppressing the occurrence of interference between a cognitive pilot channel (CPC) and an auxiliary control channel (ACS) in cognitive wireless communications. According to the inventive channel adjusting method for use in cognitive wireless communications, initially, a connection using a cognitive pilot channel (CPC) is set up. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a spectrum sensing channel (ACS) is to be utilized. If yes, it is then determinedwhether or not any interference occurs between the spectrum sensing channel (ACS) and the set-up cognitive pilot channel (CPC) . This allows an adjustment to be performed such that no interference occurs between the cognitive pilot channel (CPC) and the spectrum sensing channel (ACS).
Abstract:
In a cognitive radio communication device, before a communication link for the cognitive radio communication is established, a control channel which is a common channel which can be used by a plurality of cognitive radio communication devices is detected. By exchanging sensing information and sensing control information among the plurality of radio communication devices using the detected common channel, the information is shared. The plurality of cognitive radio communication devices share the sensing information and the sensing control information, and use the information for determining a channel used for spectrum monitoring and data communication, and the like.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a wireless communication system capable of avoiding interference even when a network including a secondary user coexists. The wireless communication system includes a primary user belonging to a first network, a first secondary user belonging to a second network, and a coexistence manager (CM). The coexistence manager (CM) acquires information relating to spectrum holes that are, at least temporarily, not in use by the primary user. In addition, the coexistence manager (CM) determines whether or not usage of the spectrum holes by the first secondary user causes interference. If the determination result is that interference is caused, coexistence manager (CM) notifies to this effect a second secondary user belonging to a third network, which differs from the second network.
Abstract:
Provided is a spectrum sensor for cognitive wireless communication whereby it is possible to improve communication efficiency. In a cognitive wireless communication system, a spectrum sensor senses spectra in multiple frequency bands. A spectrum sensor (1) is configured to be able to operate in one operation mode selected from among a spectrum sensing mode for sensing spectra, and a communication mode for communicating with a wireless communication device. Further, the spectrum sensor is provided with a controller (51) for controlling the operation mode. The controller (51) switches between the above-mentioned operation modes during the symbol period of an ultra-wideband physical layer (UWB PHY).
