Optimal Spectrum-Hole Detection Scheme for Cooperative CRN Using Dynamic Weighted VIKOR

Abstract

In the future, the wireless network environment may suffer due to the unavailability of new spectrum bands. Cognitive radio research considers the current spectrum underutilization and provides a better model for the next-generation wireless environment. Since the implementation of the cognitive radio and its policies is a bigger challenge under static spectrum allocation, i.e., current wireless networks policy, many issues are in front of us to accomplish a better cognitive radio wireless environment. One of the major challenges is a secure transmission and efficient free channel selection. In this research, the authors considered an efficient free-channel selection scheme as objective and derived an integrated approach for free-channel selection with techniques, Dynamic weighted-VIKOR.
