Title
On the Value of Prediction in Opportunistic Radio Systems.
Abstract
In opportunistic spectrum access, radios sense their environment and adapt communication to utilize unused licensed spectrum without interfering with licensed users. A true cognitive radio, however, should do more than only access spectrum opportunistically. It should autonomously acquire and learn any helpful new information. In this paper, we construct an algorithm, based on future use patterns within the licensed bands. It finds the optimal trade-off between packet buffering and channel switching, while guaranteeing delay demands. This algorithm is shown to outperform the benchmark solution by up to 50%.
