Abstract:IEEE 802.22 is the first standard to uitilize cognitive radio technology for wireless regional area networks (WRANs). It has adopted a cellular topology containing one base station (BS) and multiple customer premises equipments (CPEs) in a cell. It covers a very large area with radius ranging up to 100 km. Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) system is employed and it is further slotted in time-domain. In one slot only one CPE can be allocated, and every intra-cell packet needs to be routed th… Show more
