A Novel Algorithm for Cooperative Distributed Sequential Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio
This paper considers cooperative spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radios. In our
previous work we have developed DualSPRT, a distributed algorithm for
cooperative spectrum sensing using Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) at
the Cognitive Radios as well as at the fusion center. This algorithm works
well, but is not optimal. In this paper we propose an improved algorithm-
SPRT-CSPRT, which is motivated from Cumulative Sum Procedures (CUSUM). We
analyse it theoretically. We also modify this algorithm to handle uncertainties
in SNR's and fading.Comment: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to the submission of

A Distributed Scheduling Algorithm to Provide Quality-of-Service in Multihop Wireless Networks
Control of multihop Wireless networks in a distributed manner while providing
end-to-end delay requirements for different flows, is a challenging problem.
Using the notions of Draining Time and Discrete Review from the theory of fluid
limits of queues, an algorithm that meets delay requirements to various flows
in a network is constructed. The algorithm involves an optimization which is
implemented in a cyclic distributed manner across nodes by using the technique
of iterative gradient ascent, with minimal information exchange between nodes.
The algorithm uses time varying weights to give priority to flows. The
performance of the algorithm is studied in a network with interference modelled
by independent sets
Previous Messages Provide the Key to Achieve Shannon Capacity in a Wiretap Channel
We consider a wiretap channel and use previously transmitted messages to
generate a secret key which increases the secrecy capacity. This can be
bootstrapped to increase the secrecy capacity to the Shannon capacity without
using any feedback or extra channel while retaining the strong secrecy of the
wiretap channel.Comment: Accepted for IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshop
