Overview of spectrum sensing technologies for satellite and space communications based on cognitive radio networks

Abstract

The limited available spectrum of satellite and space communications result in new techniques to reuse the free spectrum. Cognitive Radio (CR) is one of the most promising techniques for such reusing processes. Spectrum sensing (SS) is the core process of cognitive radio which is used to sense the available temporary free bands, holes, of the sensed spectrum.
 Many technologies are proposed to achieve both narrow-band and wide-band spectrum sensing. Three paradigms of spectrum sensing applications such as the interweaving approach, the underlay approach and the overlay approach are explained. Many scenarios are proposed to utilize cognitive radio architecture at both standalone and cooperative approaches in satellite communications. The proposed scenario is based on cooperative Sub-Nyquist wideband sensing basis. Nano-computing process is highly required to achieve real-time communication for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio due to the intensive required computations. The Simulation of the proposed scenario showed that it efficiently saves frequency resources, overcomes spectrum underutilization problem, noise and interference problems with an accurate reconstruction.

Performance evaluation of millimeter wave 5G networks for variable antennas configurations

“…An alternative approach, is millimeter-wave MIMO shown in fig. 7, which establishes multiple parallel links in a LOS environment [16], as millimeter wave highly relies on LOS transmission. The basic theory for this system architecture first appeared in [17].…”

Growing one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures

“…3). It is generally accepted that the green peak of ZnO is due to radiative recombination of a photo-generated hole with an electron attributed to an oxygen vacancy while the ultraviolet emission is attributed to the near band-edge free exciton transition [7][8][9]. It can be understood why the green emission gets stronger as the growth time is increased because more oxygen atoms on the surface of the ZnO nanostructures can…”

A nano-spectral study of charge transfer complexes to alizarin dye with electronic acceptors (TiO2)

“…The use of EDX technology to find out the elements in the prepared materials also know the extent of purity. The results of the analysis of TiO 2 shows that Ti and O a large proportion in Table (2) and also the Na, Cl elements attributed to the presence of remnants of the initial materials involved in the reaction, In addition, TiO 2 prepared nanoparticles were pure due to the of overlapping band of impurities as shown in Fig( 6) [10].…”
