SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGIN...

This SpringerBrief presents recent advances in the cognitive MAC designs for opportunistic
spectrum access (OSA) networks. It covers the basic MAC functionalities and MAC enhancements of
IEEE 802.11. Later chapters discuss the existing MAC protocols for OSA and classify them based
on characteristic features. The authors provide new research in adaptive carrier sensing-based
MAC designs tailored for OSA  which optimize spectrum utilization and ensure a peaceful
coexistence of licensed and unlicensed systems. Analytically devised via optimization and
game-theoretic approaches  these adaptive MAC designs are shown to effectively reduce
collisions between both primary and secondary network users. Researchers and professionals
working in wireless communications and networks will find this content valuable. This brief is
also a useful study guide for advanced-level students in computer science and electrical
engineering.
