In cognitive radio networks, channel aggregation (CA) and channel fragmentation (CF) techniques have been proposed to enhance the spectrum utilization. While most of the literature studies CA and CF independently, in this paper we combine CA and CF innovatively and present a new spectrum sharing strategy named CAF (Channel Aggregation and Fragmentation). We elaborate on the proposed CAF strategy and derive the balance equation by a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) model. Then various system performance metrics including blocking probability, dropping probability, spectrum utilization and throughput of the secondary network are evaluated. Both analytical and simulation results show that our strategy lowers the blocking and dropping probabilities and enhances the spectrum utilization and throughput effectively. Moreover, by tuning the bandwidth requirement of each secondary user, different system performance can be achieved. |
