Author:Masonta, Moshe T; Mekuria, Fisseha; Mzyece, M; Djouani, KDate:Sep 2015Spectrum decision is the ability of a cognitive radio (CR) system to select the best available spectrum band to satisfy dynamic spectrum access network (DSAN) users¿ quality of service (QoS) requirements without causing harmful interference ...Read more
Author:Onumanyi, Adeiza J; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Hancke, GPDate:Nov 2019Some recent survey statistics suggest that low power wide area networks (LPWANs) are fast becoming the most prevalent communication platform used in many applications of the Internet of things (IoT). However, because most LPWANs are generally ...Read morecb
Author:Masonta, Moshe T; Mzyece, M; Mekuria, FissehaDate:Oct 2012Cognitive radio (CR) technology has become one of the buzzwords within the wireless communications community over the past 12 years. Its ability to learn, decide and adapt to the external environment made CR attractive to regulators, researchers, ...Read more
Author:Abdullahi, A; Onumanyi, Adeiza J; Zubair, S; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Hancke, GPDate:Nov 2019The forward consecutive mean excision (FCME) algorithm is one of the most effective adaptive threshold estimation algorithms presently deployed for threshold adaptation in cognitive radio (CR) systems. However, its effectiveness is often ...Read more
Author:Ndiaye, M; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Hancke, GP; Silva, BDate:Jul 2019This paper draws attention to techniques available for the minimization of control overhead in software-defined wireless sensor networks (SDWSNs). Software-defined networking (SDN) promises improved management flexibility and control for ...Read more
Author:Hussien, HM; Katzis, K; Mfupe, Luzango P; Bekele, ETDate:Aug 2019The opening of Television White Spaces for cognitive access is one of the first tangible steps towards solving the spectrum scarcity as well as rural connectivity problems. Because this part of the spectrum band offers better bandwidth, good ...Read more
Author:Onumanyi, Adeiza J; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Hancke, GPDate:Jul 2019In this paper, we have discussed the integration of Cognitive Radio (CR) in Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) based on a generic network architecture and a PHY layer front-end model. Essentially, since most existing LPWAN technologies are ...Read more
