Dynamic Resource Allocation Algorithms for Cognitive Radio Systems
Cognitive Radio (CR) is a novel concept for improving the utilization of the radio spectrum. This promises the efficient use of scarce radio resources. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a reliable transmission scheme for Cognitive Radio Systems which provides flexibility in allocating the radio resources in dynamic environment. It also assures no mutual interference among the CR radio channels which are just adjacent to each other. Allocation of radio resources dynamically is a major challenge in cognitive radio systems. In this project, various algorithms for resource allocation in OFDM based CR systems have been studied. The algorithms attempt to maximize the total throughput of the CR system (secondary users) subject to the total power constraint of the CR system and tolerable interference from and to the licensed band (primary users). We have implemented two algorithms Particle Swarm Algorithm(PSO) and Genetic Algorithm(GA) and compared their results
Resource allocation for OFDM-based cognitive radio systems
Cognitive Radio (CR) is a novel concept for improving the utilization of the radio spectrum. It is a software controlled radio that senses the unused frequency spectrum at any time from the wide but congested wireless radio spectrum. This promises the efficient use of scarce radio resources. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a reliable transmission scheme for Cognitive Radio Systems [3] which provides flexibility in allocating the radio resources in dynamic environment. It also assures no mutual interference among the CR radio channels which are just adjacent to each other, making it one of the best schemes to be used in CR systems. Allocation of radio resources is a major challenge in cognitive radio systems. In a dynamic environment, many parameters and situations have to be considered which affect the total data rate of the system.
A Secondary users (CRUs/SUs) may coexist with the Primary user (PU) either on Conservative basis or on a more aggressive basis which allows secondary transmissions as long as the induced interference to the PU is below acceptable level. In this we have considered Uplink cognitive radio system heaving one PU coexists with M SUs and A Downlink of an Multi User Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing CR system with one base station (BS) serving one PU and K SUs. We focused on the design on the design and analysis of subcarrier and power allocation scheme under imperfect CSI for cognitive OFDM systems. A two – step Algorithm for bit rate is proposed to obtain the (1) subcarrier allocation to secondary users and (2) bits, power allocation on subcarriers.
The algorithms attempt to maximize the total throughput of the CR system (secondary users) subject to the total power constraint of the CR system and tolerable interference from and to the licensed band (primary users)
Transmit power control and data rate enhancement in cognitive radio network using computational intelligence
Underutilized radio frequencies are the chief apprehension in advance radio communication. The radio recourses are sparse and costly and their efficient allocation has become a challenge. Cognitive radio networks are the ray of hope. Cognitive radio networks use dynamic spectrum access technique to opportunistically retrieve and share the licensed spectrum. The licensed users are called primary users and the users that opportunistically access the licensed spectrum all called secondary users. The proposed system is a feedback system that work on demand and supply concept, in which secondary receivers senses the vacant spectrum and shares the information with the secondary transmitters. The secondary transmitters adjust their transmission parameters of transmit power and data rate in such a way that date rate is maximized. Two methods of spectrum access using frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and Time division multiple access (TDMA) are discussed. Interference temperature limit and maximum achievable capacity are the constraints that regulate the entire technique. The aim of the technique is to control the transmitter power according to the data requirements of each secondary user and optimizing the resources like bandwidth, transmit power using machine learning and feed forward back propagation deep neural networks making full use of the network capacity without hampering the operation of primary network

OFDM provides several techniques and advantages for spectrum allocations to network segments, intra-cell Radio Resource Management (RRM) using Dynamic Subcarrier Assignment (DSA), Adaptive Power Allocation and Adaptive Modulation (AM) methods, providing the means for a flexible RRM scheme capable to address the problems of the service or cell area and provide solutions for proper network adaptation
Cognitive code-division links with blind primary-system identification
Abstract—We consider the problem of cognitive code-division channelization (simultaneous power and code-channel allocation) for secondary transmission links co-existing with an unknown primary code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system. We first develop a blind primary-user identification scheme to detect the binary code sequences (signatures) utilized by primary users. To create a secondary link we propose two alternative procedures –one of moderate and one of low computational complexity – that optimize the secondary transmitting power and binary codechannel assignment in accordance with the detected primary code channels to avoid “harmful ” interference. At the same time, the optimization procedures guarantee that the signalto-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the output of the maximum SINR linear secondary receiver is no less than a certain threshold to meet secondary transmission quality of service (QoS) requirements. The extension of the channelization problem to multiple secondary links is also investigated. Simulation studies presented herein illustrate the theoretical developments. Index Terms—Blind user identification, code-channel allocation, code-division multiple-access, cognitive radio, dynamic spectrum access, power allocation, signal-to-interference-plusnoise ratio. I

Power Control and Resource Allocation for QoS-Constrained Wireless Networks
Developments such as machine-to-machine communications and multimedia services are placing growing demands on high-speed reliable transmissions and limited wireless spectrum resources. Although multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have shown the ability to provide reliable transmissions in fading channels, it is not practical for single-antenna devices to support MIMO system due to cost and hardware limitations. Cooperative communication allows single-antenna devices to share their spectrum resources and form a virtual MIMO system where their quality of service (QoS) may be improved via cooperation. Most cooperative communication solutions are based on fixed spectrum access schemes and thus cannot further improve spectrum efficiency. In order to support more users in the existing spectrum, we consider dynamic spectrum access schemes and cognitive radio techniques in this dissertation.
Our work includes the modelling, characterization and optimization of QoS-constrained cooperative networks and cognitive radio networks. QoS constraints such as delay and data rate are modelled. To solve power control and channel resource allocation problems, dynamic power control, matching theory and multi-armed bandit algorithms are employed in our investigations. In this dissertation, we first consider a cluster-based cooperative wireless network utilizing a centralized cooperation model. The dynamic power control and optimization problem is analyzed in this scenario. We then consider a cooperative cognitive radio network utilizing an opportunistic spectrum access model. Distributed spectrum access algorithms are proposed to help secondary users utilize vacant channels of primary users in order to optimize the total utility of the network. Finally, a noncooperative cognitive radio network utilizing the opportunistic spectrum access model is analyzed. In this model, primary users do not communicate with secondary users. Therefore, secondary users are required to find vacant channels on which to transmit. Multi-armed bandit algorithms are proposed to help secondary users predict the availability of licensed channels.
In summary, in this dissertation we consider both cooperative communication networks and cognitive radio networks with QoS constraints. Efficient power control and channel resource allocation schemes have been proposed for optimization problems in different scenarios.Cambridge Overseas Trust; China Scholarship Counci
Resource Allocation in the Cognitive Radio Network-Aided Internet of Things for the Cyber-Physical-Social System: An Efficient Jaya Algorithm
Currently, there is a growing demand for the use of communication network bandwidth for the Internet of Things (IoT) within the cyber-physical-social system (CPSS), while needing progressively more powerful technologies for using scarce spectrum resources. Then, cognitive radio networks (CRNs) as one of those important solutions mentioned above, are used to achieve IoT effectively. Generally, dynamic resource allocation plays a crucial role in the design of CRN-aided IoT systems. Aiming at this issue, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been identified as one of the successful technologies, which works with a multi-carrier parallel radio transmission strategy. In this article, through the use of swarm intelligence paradigm, a solution approach is accordingly proposed by employing an efficient Jaya algorithm, called PA-Jaya, to deal with the power allocation problem in cognitive OFDM radio networks for IoT. Because of the algorithm-specific parameter-free feature in the proposed PA-Jaya algorithm, a satisfactory computational performance could be achieved in the handling of this problem. For this optimization problem with some constraints, the simulation results show that compared with some popular algorithms, the efficiency of spectrum utilization could be further improved by using PA-Jaya algorithm with faster convergence speed, while maximizing the total transmission rate

Radio network management in cognitive LTE-Femtocell Systems
This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University London.There is a strong uptake of femtocell deployment as small cell application
platforms in the upcoming LTE networks. In such two-tier networks of LTEfemtocell
base stations, a large portion of the assigned spectrum is used
sporadically leading to underutilisation of valuable frequency resources.
Novel spectrum access techniques are necessary to solve these current spectrum
inefficiency problems. Therefore, spectrum management solutions should have
the features to improve spectrum access in both temporal and spatial manner.
Cognitive Radio (CR) with the Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) is considered
to be the key technology in this research in order to increase the spectrum
efficiency. This is an effective solution to allow a group of Secondary Users
(SUs) to share the radio spectrum initially allocated to the Primary User (PUs) at
no interference.
The core aim of this thesis is to develop new cognitive LTE-femtocell systems
that offer a 4G vision, to facilitate the radio network management in order to
increase the network capacity and further improve spectrum access probabilities.
In this thesis, a new spectrum management model for cognitive radio networks is
considered to enable a seamless integration of multi-access technology with
existing networks. This involves the design of efficient resource allocation
algorithms that are able to respond to the rapid changes in the dynamic wireless
environment and primary users activities. Throughout this thesis a variety of
network upgraded functions are developed using application simulation
scenarios. Therefore, the proposed algorithms, mechanisms, methods, and system
models are not restricted in the considered networks, but rather have a wider
applicability to be used in other technologies.
This thesis mainly investigates three aspects of research issues relating to the
efficient management of cognitive networks: First, novel spectrum resource
management modules are proposed to maximise the spectrum access by rapidly
detecting the available transmission opportunities. Secondly, a developed pilot
power controlling algorithm is introduced to minimise the power consumption by
considering mobile position and application requirements. Also, there is
investigation on the impact of deploying different numbers of femtocell base
stations in LTE domain to identify the optimum cell size for future networks.
Finally, a novel call admission control mechanism for mobility management is
proposed to support seamless handover between LTE and femtocell domains.
This is performed by assigning high speed mobile users to the LTE system to
avoid unnecessary handovers.
The proposed solutions were examined by simulation and numerical analysis to
show the strength of cognitive femtocell deployment for the required
applications. The results show that the new system design based on cognitive
radio configuration enable an efficient resource management in terms of
spectrum allocation, adaptive pilot power control, and mobile handover. The
proposed framework and algorithms offer a novel spectrum management for self organised LTE-femtocell architecture.
Eventually, this research shows that certain architectures fulfilling spectrum
management requirements are implementable in practice and display good
performance in dynamic wireless environments which recommends the
consideration of CR systems in LTE and femtocell networks
Effective Capacity Analysis for Cognitive Networks under QoS Satisfaction
Spectrum sensing and dynamic spectrum access (DSA) techniques in cognitive radio networks (CRN) have been extensively investigated since last decade. Recently, satisfaction of quality-of-service (QoS) demands for secondary users (SU) has attracted great attention. The SU can not only discover the transmission opportunities, but also cognitively adapts the dynamic spectrum access strategies to its own QoS requirement and the environment variations. In this paper, we study how the delay QoS requirement affects the strategy on network performance. We first treat the delay-QoS in interference constrained cognitive radio network by applying the effective capacity concept, focusing on the two dominant DSA schemes: underlay and overlay. We obtain the effective capacity of the secondary network and determine the power allocation policies that maximize the throughput of the cognitive user. The underlay and overlay approaches may have their respective advantages under diverse propagation environment and system parameters. If the cognitive network can dynamically choose the DSA strategy under different environment, its performance could be further improved. We propose a selection criterion to determine whether to use underlay or overlay scheme under the given QoS constraint and the PUs’ spectrum-occupancy probability. Thus, the throughput of the CRN could be increased. Performance analysis and numerical evaluations are provided to demonstrate the effective capacity of CRN based on the underlay and the overlay schemes, taking into consideration the impact of delay QoS requirement and other related parameters
