Adaptive Bandwidth Control for Dynamic Spectrum Control Aided Spectrum Sharing in Private Wireless Networks

Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptive bandwidth control scheme for the private wireless networks. Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), which is commonly used within the private networks, is not efficient in terms of spectral efficiency due to its strict collision avoidance process. In order to relax the collision avoidance rule, this paper employs dynamic spectrum control (DSC), in which a certain number of discrete spectra having the higher channel gain is selected in a selfish manner with each link allowing a partial band interference. Such interference may be suppressed by the equalizer at the receiver. Aiming at optimal selection of the bandwidth for the selfish DSC according to channel realizations, in the sense of throughput maximization, this paper proposes a channel capacity maximization-based BAR control scheme. Computer simulations validate that the proposed scheme achieves high throughput efficiency.
