Analyzing Cognitive Radio Network Operation With the Mechanism of Deciding Handoff and Process of Handoff Employing Varied Distribution Models (5G)

Abstract

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) deal with sensing, decision making, sharing, and mobility. Among these aspects, spectrum mobility assumes a vital role for spectrum handoff to occur. When the spectrum handoff process is analyzed, there are call drops, spectrum handoff, and interferences with the adjacent channels. For minimizing the handoff of the spectrum's probability as well as the call drops, which involves three processes, which are followed in sequential order, results demonstrate a better QoS. In the following three processes, the first process starts with the Markov model that identifies a channel's states and selects the channel which is apt. The second process, multiple attributes decision making (MADM), methods choose one of the best possible channels among all the channels based on various metrics in the proposed hybrid method. In the third process, the spectrum handoff is analyzed through different distribution models to indicate which model is the desirable one for a handoff process such as the one with stationary users or the other with non-stationary users.
