摘要:
In a cognitive radio environment with at least three cognitive radio terminals, terminals 1 and 2 have an active link. Terminal 3 estimates the link quality, and if it is deemed good terminal 3 transmits over the frequency band in use on the link. Terminal 3 then monitors the link between terminals 1 and 2 to quantify its interference on it. If no interference is detected terminal 3 can increase its power. If terminals 1 and 2 change their modulation terminal 3 deems its interference too severe and either reduces power or finds another frequency band. Terminal 3 can use blind modulation detection for the link between terminals 1 and 2, and estimate link quality based on the type of modulation in use.

摘要:
A user equipment senses a plurality of wireless signals it receives; estimates cyclic correlation of the received signals using a multi-variate sign function; determines from the estimated cyclic correlation which ones of the signals are detected based on cyclostationarity present at known cyclic frequencies; and a frequency resource is selected for opportunistic communications based on the frequencies over which were received the signals that were determined to be detected. In specific embodiments, the multi-variate sign function is bivariate; the detected signals are primary user signals and the selected frequency resource avoids frequencies on which they were received; and/or the detected signals are secondary user signals and the selected frequency resource can either avoid those frequencies on which they were received or use those frequencies for the UE's own opportunistic communications.

摘要:
In a first time interval TI a first frequency band FB is pseudorandomly selected from a designated spectrum, and a first analysis result is determined by sensing the first FB during the first TI and then transmitted. In a second TI a second FB is pseudorandomly selected from the designated spectrum, and a second analysis result is determined by sensing the second FB during the second TI and then transmitted. Where multiple devices do this the entire spectrum is sensed, each band by a subset of devices that changes at each TI, and so any unused or underutilized spectrum is searched by the collaborative spectrum sensing, which avoids propagation problems such as fading. Also, a central node can assure various collaborating users report different FBs in different TIs such that the subset of reporting users changes for at least one of the bands in each subsequent reporting TI. Sensing and communication can be performed in different portions of the same network defined transmission time interval.

摘要:
Samples are extracted from a received signal. For each of a plurality of candidate cyclic frequencies, cyclic covariance of the received signal is determined using a Fourier transform FT having a length that is less than the number of extracted samples. The frequency channel within which the signal was received is chosen for opportunistic/cognitive radio transmissions when none of the plurality of candidate cyclic frequencies exhibits a peak that exceeds a threshold, or results are transmitted for collaborative sensing. The extracted samples may be filtered and decimated prior to executing the FT, and the length of the FT depends on the number of samples that remain. Decimating is at a rate that depends on a bandwidth of the filtering. The bandwidth of filtering is determined by the lowest cyclic frequency where the signal to be detected exhibits cyclostationarity. Each of the candidate cyclic frequencies are near zero and determining the covariance employs a windowing function centered on zero cyclic frequency.
