    Cognitive radio is a technique that was originally created for the proper use of the radio electric spectrum due its underuse. A few methods were used to predict the network traffic to determine the occupancy of the spectrum and then use the ‘holes’ between the transmissions of primary users. The goal is to guarantee a complete transmission for the second user while not interrupting the trans-mission of primary users. This study seeks the multifractal generation of traffic for a specific radio electric spectrum as well as a bio-inspired route estimation for secondary users. It uses the MFHW algorithm to generate multifractal traces and two bio-inspired algo-rithms: Ant Colony Optimization and Max Feeding to calculate the secondary user’s path. Multifractal characteristics offer a predic-tion, which is 10% lower in comparison with the original traffic values and a complete transmission for secondary users. In fact, a hybrid strategy combining both bio-inspired algorithms promise a reduction in handoff. The purpose of this research consists on deriving future investigation in the generation of multifractal traffic and a mobility spectrum using bio-inspired algorithms

    Due to an ever-growing demand for spectrum and the fast-paced developmentof wireless applications, technologies such as cognitive radio enablethe efficient use of the spectrum. The objective of the present article is todesign an algorithm capable of choosing the best channel for data transmission.It uses quantitative methods that can modify behavior by changing qualityparameters in the channel. To achieve this task, a hybrid decision-makingalgorithm is designed that combinesanalytical hierarchy process(AHP)algorithms and adjusts the weights of each channel parameter, using a prioritytable. TheElimination Et Choix Tranduisant La Realité(ELECTRE)algorithm processes the information from each channel through a weightmatrix and then delivers the most favorable result for the transmitted data. Theresults reveal that the hybrid AHP-ELECTRE algorithm has a suitableperformance, which improves the throughput rate by 14% compared to similaralternatives

    Computer simulations are without a doubt a useful methodology that allows to explore research queries and develop prototypes at lower costs and timeframes than those required in hardware processes. The simulation tools used in cognitive radio networks (CRN) are undergoing an active process. Currently, there is no stable simulator that enables to characterize every element of the cognitive cycle and the available tools are a framework for discrete-event software. This work presents the spectral mobility simulator in CRN called “App MultiColl-DCRN”, developed with MATLAB’s app designer. In contrast with other frameworks, the simulator uses real spectral occupancy data and simultaneously analyzes features regarding spectral mobility, decision-making, multi-user access, collaborative scenarios and decentralized architectures. Performance metrics include bandwidth, throughput level, number of failed handoffs, number of total handoffs, number of handoffs with interference, number of anticipated handoffs and number of perfect handoffs. The assessment of the simulator involves three scenarios: the first and second scenarios present a collaborative structure using the multi-criteria optimization and compromise solution (VIKOR) decision-making model and the naïve Bayes prediction technique respectively. The third scenario presents a multi-user structure and uses simple additive weighting (SAW) as a decision-making technique. The present development represents a contribution in the cognitive radio network field since there is currently no software with the same features

    Cognitive radio networks are the next step to tackle scarcity in wireless networks given the increasing demand of radioelectric spectrum where the proposed solution is to share said resource to improve this situation. In the present article, a review of the current state of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks. To achieve this purpose, the articles published over the last 4 years on the matter were reviewed including topics such as mobile networks and TV. Some studies and simulations proposed to share the spectrum is shown. The current state of the studies reveals that there has been significant progress in this research area yet it is necessary to continue similar studies and set in motion different schemes

    Debido a la creciente demanda de espectro y al rápido desarrollo de aplicaciones inalámbricas, tecnologías como la radio cognitiva permiten usar el espectro de manera eficiente. El objetivo del presente artículo es diseñar un algoritmo capaz de elegir el mejor canal para la transmisión de datos utilizando métodos cuantitativos que puedan modificar el comportamiento en términos de cambios en los parámetros de calidad del canal. Para lograr esta tarea, se diseñó un algoritmo híbrido de toma de decisiones que combina algoritmos AHP y ajusta los pesos de cada parámetro del canal, utilizando una tabla de prioridad. El algoritmo ELECTRE se encarga de procesar la información de cada canal con una matriz de peso para entregar el resultado más favorable para el tipo de datos a transmitir. Los resultados muestran un rendimiento satisfactorio del algoritmo AHP-ELECTRE en comparación con alternativas similares.Due to the growing demand for spectrum and the rapid development of wireless applications, technologies such as cognitive radio allow to use the spectrum efficiently.
