This paper elaborates on the suboptimal greedy algorithm for target channel sequence selection as presented by Wang et al. in the paper "Optimal Target Channel Sequence Design for Multiple Spectrum Handoffs in Cognitive Radio Networks," IEEE Transactions on Communications, vol.60, no.9, pp.2444-2455. They claimed that the greedy algorithm requires comparing six target channel sequences. We prove that only five target channel sequences comparisons are sufficient. Hence, we present a modified algorithm and test it with a set of numerical results. It appears that the new algorithm reduces the processing time compared to the original one especially for a network with a large number of candidate channels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
