Title
CR-DMAC: a MAC protocol for cognitive radio networks with directional antennas
Abstract
Directional wireless communication is known to significantly improve the capacity of wireless networks at the expense of more complex communication protocols. In this paper, CR-DMAC, a novel Medium Access Control protocol for IEEE 802.22 Cognitive Radio infrastructure based networks with directional antennas is presented. The performance of CR-DMAC is evaluated through simulation experiments on a custom-made simulator. We conclude that a significant increase in the number of cognitive network connections and decrease in the amount of control message overhead is achieved through the use of directional communication and CR-DMAC.
