Abstract

An access control engine with dynamic priority resource allocation (ACE-DPRA) is proposed for unlicensed users to utilize free spectrum of wireless communication systems. A cognitive radio (CR) network with sensing and learning abilities is essential for unlicensed users to achieve ACE-DPRA. Three algorithms are included in ACE-DPRA to improve the spectral efficiency. While requesting to set up connection, unlicensed CR users generate excessive interferences to licensed users. The proposed ACE-DPRA with an admission control scheme allows the connection of unlicensed CR users without degrading the communication quality of licensed users. The priority algorithm for utilizing the unused spectrum is designed according to the location information of unlicensed users. A transmitted power control method is achieved by a fuzzy-learning mechanism. The spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems can be increased after adopting the proposed ACE-DPRA algorithm. Simulation results show that licensed users keep the advantages of high transmission data rate, low interference power, and low average outage probability after the connection of unlicensed CR users.
