Abstract
In this paper, dynamic and anticipated resource leasing strategies to address the problem of leased resource availability are investigated. Then, network performance analysis is developed, and the performance evaluations of different leasing strategies (namely permanent, dynamic, and anticipated leasing strategies) are provided for some network scenarios. The developed mathematical model additionally considers non-homogeneous bandwidth requirement, where different primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) may require a number of channels. The tradeoff between spectrum leasing cost and system Erlang capacity (defined as the maximum offered traffic for which all the QoS requirements are guaranteed) is also investigated. Specifically, the maximum Erlang capacity is obtained by optimizing the number of reserved channels for different traffic scenarios considering a maximum allowed number of simultaneously rented channels. Also, the minimum achievable cost per Erlang is obtained by considering a fractional number of leased channels. Additionally, the cost per Erlang of capacity as function of both the utilization factor of the primary resources and the maximum allowed number of simultaneously rented channels is evaluated. Numerical results demonstrate that system performance strongly depends on the value of the mean secondary service time relative to the mean primary service time. Also, numerical results show that the cost of leasing a spectrum band is drastically reduced (compared to the permanent leasing strategy) when dynamic spectrum leasing strategies are employed.
Highlights
Interest for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) to provide applications with stringent delay constraints has increased [1,2,3,4,5]
We investigate the performance of dynamic spectrum leasing strategies for coordinated cognitive radio networks (CCRNs) with fixedrate traffic that has stringent delay constraints
4 Conclusions In this work, two dynamic spectrum leasing strategies with anticipated resource leasing are proposed to control the effects of the random nature of resource availability in coordinated cognitive radio networks with fixed-rate a c b traffic and hard-delay requirements
Summary
Interest for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) to provide applications with stringent delay constraints has increased [1,2,3,4,5]. Providing this type of services is challenging due to the unpredictable nature of channel availability [3]. Thanks to the random nature of channel occupancy, the resources to be leased cannot be guaranteed To avoid this problem, in this paper, an anticipated leasing mechanism is proposed to increase the probability to find available channels to lease when needed
