ABSTRACT
The next generation of radio wireless networks is expected to support spectrum decision operations that will allow a cognitive radio terminal to share the frequency bandwidth with primary users without impairing their QoS requirements. This can indeed enhance the utilization of the limited spectrum resources, and help meet the growing bandwidth demand. In this paper, we propose a new, cross-layer algorithm that allows a cognitive terminal to share and access to either HSDPA or WiMAX licensed spectrum while giving priority to the primary users. This algorithm not only considers the interference caused by the cognitive terminal, but also enhances the achievable throughput of this cognitive terminal. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our spectrum access scheme. Under our proposed scheme, the achievable data rate of the cognitive radio terminal is increased by 30% when compared with that obtained under common access schemes.

Recommendations
Dynamic Spectrum Access in heterogeneous unlicensed wireless networks
Existing wireless systems are normally regulated by a fixed spectrum assignment strategy. This policy leads to an undesirable situation that some systems may only use the allocated spectrum to a limited extent while others have very serious spectrum ...
Dynamic spectrum access based on interruptible spectrum leasing
Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) based on interruptible spectrum leasing allows secondary users (SUs) to lease a licensed, but idle, spectrum that is owned by primary users (PUs) on condition that the PUs preempt the access to the leased spectrum. This ...
NeXt generation/dynamic spectrum access/cognitive radio wireless networks: a survey
Today's wireless networks are characterized by a fixed spectrum assignment policy. However, a large portion of the assigned spectrum is used sporadically and geographical variations in the utilization of assigned spectrum ranges from 15% to 85% with a ...
