In this paper at wireless network we use the cognitive radio (CR) channels for communication. The performance of the process is limited by the self-interference which occur in the CR system. To overcome that problem beam forming method is used effectively which reduces the self-interference of smart meter channels. MMSE method is the main concept in the beam forming method utilized in the smart...

The need for radio spectrum usage is increasing day by day with recent advancements in wireless system. But there is limited amount of spectrum available. So that for solving this problem Cognitive Radio (CR) is used for purpose of the spectrum utilization properly. Basically the Licensed users use the licensed bands but the unlicensed users should always check spectrum with the help of CR tech...

In order to improve the spectrum utilization, cognitive networks have been proposed. A cognitive network can reuses the spectrum of licensed user in a way such that the services of the licensed users are not disrupted harmfully. This paper presents the optimization of interference generated by a secondary network to a primary network for a cognitive radio (CR) networks using genetic algorithm (...

Cognitive radio is an enabling technology to solve the spectrum scarcity problem in wireless communication. This is based on the concept of opportunistic spectrum access. Spectrum sensing is one of the most important functions in cognitive radio (CR) implementation. In this paper, we propose a multiple energy detectors (MED) based scheme with improved detection performance at low signal to nois...

Recently, cognitive radio (CR) technology is broadly applied even to sensor networks. Cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs) have been studied and, apparently, sensor nodes equipped with directional antennas achieve higher energy efficiency. This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol named directional CR-aware MAC (DC-MAC) for CRSNs. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this ...

Cognitive Radio (CR) is defined as a radio that is aware of its surroundings and adapts intelligently. While CR technology is mainly cited as the enabler for solving the spectrum scarcity problems by the means of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA), perspectives and potential applications of the CR technology far surpass the DSA alone. For example, cognitive capabilities and on-the-fly reconfiguratio...
