A Middleware Framework for Communication in Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive radio networks are expected to address and resolve important
operational challenges such as opportunistic spectrum access, spectrum and
network heterogeneities and requests for the provision of diverse
Quality-of-Service (QoS) for different applications. Accordingly, a number of
network functionalities are required to take into account these challenges
towards the efficient management of cognitive radio networks. This paper
advances a new architecture for the management of cognitive radio networks. The
architecture is designed and developed at the application layer and
incorporates sensing and prediction, addressing and routing, middleware and
decision making.
Accordingly, a number of management functions are required to address the
challenges associated with the management of cognitive radio networks. The
paper provides an analysis of these components as well
