The prime focus of this study is in developing distributed algorithms for cognitive relaying with time incentive for multiple primary users (CRTI-M). CRTI-M is a symbiotic paradigm in which the incumbent primary users (PUs) of the spectrum, with weak transmission links, seek cooperation from the cognitive secondary user (SU) nodes in their vicinity, and in return reward them with an incentive time for the latter's own communication. When relaying through the SU network, each PU can either use its own spectrum or that of the other PUs. Cross-layer optimization problems are formulated to enable both these possibilities in a multi-hop multi-channel cognitive radio network with the objective of maximizing the cumulative time incentive for the SUs. Corresponding distributed algorithms are developed, which face the challenge of meeting the constraints of the formulated problems with only local information and the lack of a centralized controller. Further, to make the CRTI-M schemes practically realizable, a MAC scheduling protocol is suggested, which gives emphasis to the distributed implementation and provides a unified framework for the PUs and SUs. Simulation results are furnished to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

“…http://jwcn.eurasipjournals.com/content/2012/1/332 Some unique challenges are faced when the SCR paradigm is enabled on the spectra of multiple PUs, viz. [10,11]. The complexity that arises in this scheme as opposed to CRTI for a single PU transceiver is the fact that every PU has its own distinct bandwidth of operation.…”

“…We have also proposed that it is possible to reward the SUs with incentive frequency bands, that is, Cognitive Relaying with Frequency Incentive (CRFI) [12,14]. Some unique challenges are faced when the SCR scheme is enabled on the spectra of multiple PUs; we have addressed these in prior work as well [15,16].…”

“…All of the aforementioned works in the literature have considered either a singlerelay node or single-channel CR networks. The authors have also contributed significantly towards SCR schemes for multichannel multi-hop networks [12][13][14][15][16]. The crosslayer formulations in this work are inspired by those of Shi and Hou [20], Zhang et al [21], and some references therein.…”

“…The approaches to CRFI [13,14] are totally different in their objective-that of achieving a specified throughput for the PU while using the least number of frequency bands. Techniques for CRTI for multiple PUs [15,16] describe the maximization of the time incentive for the SUs, while utilizing multiple PUs spectra optimally. Two methods have been proposed for the same, the formulations for which are distinct, and different from those in the literature [20,21].…”

We integrate the two models ofCognitive Radio (CR), namely, the conventionalSense-and-Scavenge (SS) Model and Symbiotic Cooperative Relaying (SCR). The resultant scheme, calledSS-SCR, improves the efficiency of spectrum usage and reliability of the transmission links.SS-SCRis enabled by a suitable cross-layer optimization problem in a multihop multichannel CR network. Its performance is compared for different PU activity patterns with those schemes which considerSSandSCRseparately and perform disjoint resource allocation. Simulation results depict the effectiveness of the proposedSS-SCRscheme. We also indicate the usefulness of cloud computing for a practical deployment of the scheme.
