Abstract

In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio network with multiple secondary users (SUs). The SU packets in the system can be divided into two categories: SU1 packets and SU2 packets, where SU1 packets have transmission priority over SU2 packets. Considering the absolute priority of the primary users (PUs), the PU packets have the highest priority in the system to transmit. In order to reduce the transmission interference to the PU packets and the SU1 packets, we propose an adjustable access control scheme for the SU2 packets. A newly arriving SU2 packet can access the system with an access probability related to the total number of packets in the system. A variable factor is also introduced to adjust the access probability dynamically. Based on the working principle of the adjustable access control scheme, we build a discrete-time queueing model with a finite waiting room and an adjustable joining rate. With a steady-state analysis of the queueing model, using a three-dimensional Markov chain, we derive some performance measures of the SU2 packets. Finally, we show the influence of the adjustment factor on different system performance measures by using numerical results.
