Abstract

Cross-layer based approach is used in cognitive wireless networks for efficient utilization of unused spectrum by quick and correct detection of primary signals. In the current research, Su’s algorithm was modified and the RASH (Random Access by Sequential search and Hash organization) algorithm was proposed for quick detection of idle spectrum. Once the idle spectrum is detected, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used to help the analysis of efficient utilization of the idle spectrum. The simulation results show that the proposed model will be helpful for better utilization of the idle spectrum.
