Parallelising reception and transmission in queues of secondary users

Abstract

In a cognitive radio network, the secondary users place the packets to be transmitted on a queue to control the order of arrival and to adapt to the network state. Previous conceptions<br />assigned to each secondary user a single queue that contains both received and forwarded packets. Our present article divides the main queue into two sub queues: one to receive the arrived packets and the other to transmit the available packets. This approach reduces the transmission delay due on the one hand; to the shifting of data placed on the single queue, and on the other hand; to the sequential processing of reception and transmission, in theprevious designs. All without increasing the memory capacity of the queue, in the new approach.
