Abstract
In the domain of cognitive radio (CR), unlicensed users have the opportunity to efficiently use available spectrum bands without interfering with licensed primary users (PUs). Our study addresses the challenge of secondary user (SU) spectrum shortage due to high arrival rates of licensed users. We propose two models aimed at improving the average total waiting time for SUs in such scenarios. These models incorporate non-acquired and preemptive priority mechanisms within the M/D/1 model of a PU delay system. Through quantitative evaluations and Monte Carlo simulations, we evaluate the performance of these models. Our findings show significant improvements in average waiting time for both PUs and SUs, especially under the priority scheme. Furthermore, we explore these models in the context of real-time systems, considering the limited buffer capacity for both user types. This further improves the average waiting time for PUs and SUs in both priority schemes. Our contribution lies in providing effective solutions to mitigate SU shortages in CR networks, providing insight into priority-based approaches and real-time system considerations.
