Recent advances and future challenges of four key resources cooperation in cognitive radio network by Xianzhong XIE, Ying LUO, Ke YAN, Jiujiu CHEN

“…Cognitive radio (CR) can improve spectrum utilization by spectrum sharing or cooperation between the primary user and secondary users.It is well known that energy,interference and relay are also three key resources in cognitive radio network (CRN).Energy cooperation or sharing between the primary user and secondary user will further promote energy efficiency.Energy harvesting from RF interference signal can turn bane (interference) into a boon (green energy).Secondary user relay data of the primary user can enhance QoS of the primary user,also get some opportunities for their own transmission.Thus,four resources cooperation (spectrum,energy,interference,relay) in CRN will improve simultaneously both spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency,and also increase throughput and QoS.The overviews for collaborative utilization problems of four key resources in CRN was given.Firstly,collaboration models of four key resources were analyzed.Then,recent research advances were summarized,including three kinds of resources collaborative utilization (both energy harvesting and relay transmission,both energy cooperation and energy harvesting) and four resources collaborative utilization (simultaneous relay transmission,energy harvesting and energy cooperation) in CRN.Further,some potential challenges of four key resources cooperation in CRN were discussed.Finally,some key future research directions was concluded.…”

Receiver scheme of rake equalization for 60GHz pulse communication system by Xian CHEN, Xuehua LI

“…Dispersion of the signal energy and the inter symbol interference（ISI）is caused by the multipath fading in 60GHz pulse communication environment.To solve this problem,the severity of the ISI in the system was analyzed,and the method to eliminate interference was studied.Based on the 60GHz wireless channel model established by IEEE 802.15.3c,the simulation platform of 60GHz pulse communication system was built.Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of ISI in the system were carried out,and a receiver scheme of combining Rake receiver and equalizer was designed.Results show that,the two taps MRC-Rake receiver module combined with MMSE linear equalization module can not only improve the signal energy by multipath diversity,but also eliminate ISI.The performance of the system was improved without increasing the complexity.The scheme provides a reference for the design of 60GHz pulse communication system in the future.…”

Joint use of frequency-time division and antinoise coding in radio communication systems with FHSS by A. A. Paramonov, Van Zung Hoang

“…It is shown that due to effective use of the frequency-energy resource of a radio line, considering the use of correction codes, a quite high noise immunity of RCS under the influence of deliberate interference can be assured. The indicated dependences of the error probability on the signal-to-noise ratio confirm that the reliability of data transmission can be significantly increased by the proper combination of signal spectrum spreading, applying of correction codes, and frequency division of subsymbols followed by their weight processing.…”
