Abstract

Cognitive radio is a successful technique for utilizing the unused and under-used spectrum, and dynamic spectrum access is one of the major facilitators in making this happen. When a secondary user (an unlicensed user) interferes with the licensed user, the idea of using unused or under-utilized spectrum offers a challenge. Therefore, effective spectrum sensing is necessary to ensure the primary user’s protection and the successful transmission of data by the secondary user. An Optimal Incentive algorithm is suggested to meet this need. It effectively uses the available idle channel based on the joint optimization of sensing time and transmission time without interfering with the primary user. The proposed work also contributes to a significant increase in energy efficiency with minimal interference. Simulation results show an increase in efficiency when compared with the algorithms, namely, exhaustive search and sub-optimal algorithms.
