Abstract
In this paper, we illustrate the benefits of cooperation in cognitive radio. Cognitive (unlicensed) users need to continuously monitor spectrum for the presence of primary (licensed) users. We show that by allowing the cognitive radios operating in the same band to cooperate we can reduce the detection time and thus increase the overall agility. We first consider the case of two cognitive users and show how the inherent asymmetry in the network can be exploited to increase the agility. We then extend our protocol to study multi-user multi-carrier cognitive network. We compare our cooperation scheme with the non-cooperation scheme and derive expressions for agility gain. We show that our cooperation scheme reduces the detection time for the cognitive users by as much as 35%Keywords
