Title
Comparison of Opportunistic Spectrum Multichannel Medium Access Control Protocols
Abstract
This work comprehensively compares four possible multichannel Medium Access Control (MAC) approaches for Opportunistic Spectrum Access (OSA). One of important conclusions to be drawn from the analysis is that multichannel OSA MACs that spread both control and data between all available channels, e.g., hopping MACs, perform best among possible OSA MAC implementations when the PU traffic has long ON/OFF periods compared to the time-scale of the SU channel access.
