In this paper, we examine a cognitive spectrum access scheme in which secondary users exploit the primary feedback information. We consider an overlay secondary network employing a random access scheme in which secondary users access the channel by certain access probabilities that are functions of the spectrum sensing metric. In setting our problem, we assume that secondary users can eavesdrop on the primary link's feedback. We study the cognitive radio network from a queuing theory point of view. Access probabilities are determined by solving a secondary throughput maximization problem

In this paper, we consider the design of access schemes for secondary users in cognitive radio systems based on the primary user feedback information. We consider a secondary user employing a random access scheme with an access probability that depends on the primary user feedback state. We show that the proposed scheme can enhance the system performance in terms of the secondary throughput and/or primary user delay while guaranteeing a certain quality of service (QoS) for the primary user; this is due to the fact that the proposed scheme avoids sure collisions between the primary and

In this paper, we consider a cognitive relaying network in which the secondary user accesses the channel with a certain access probability that depends on the feedback information sent by the primary destination. In addition, the secondary user is granted relaying capabilities by which it can relay primary traffic that was unsuccessfully transmitted by the primary user. We show that this proposed scheme enhances the performance of the secondary user as well as the primary user, while the QoS requirements of the primary user is unviolated. The secondary user can avoid sure collisions with the

In this paper, we study the impact of a full-duplex secondary node on a cognitive cooperative network with Multipacket Reception (MPR) capabilities at the receivers. Motivated by recent schemes that make full-duplex communication feasible, we study a model with one primary and one secondary transmitter-receiver pair, where the secondary transmitter is able to relay primary unsuccessful packets. Cooperation between primary and secondary users has been previously shown to be beneficial for the primary and the secondary users in terms of stable throughput. Our model assumes an imperfect full

In this paper, we examine a cognitive spectrum access scheme in which a secondary user exploits the primary feedback information. We consider an overlay model in which the secondary user accesses the channel by certain access probabilities that are function of the spectrum sensing metric. In setting our problem, we assume that the secondary user can receive the primary link's feedback automatic repeat request (ARQ), but through an erasure channel. This means that the primary feedback may either be received correctly or is erased with a certain erasure probability. We study the cognitive radio

We characterize time and power allocations to optimize the sum-throughput of a Wireless Powered Communication Network (WPCN) with Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA). In our setup, an Energy Rich (ER) source broadcasts wireless energy to several devices, which use it to simultaneously transmit data to an Access Point (AP) on the uplink. Differently from most prior works, in this paper we consider a generic scenario, in which the ER and AP do not coincide, i.e., are two separate entities. We study two NOMA decoding schemes, namely Low Complexity Decoding (LCD) and Successive Interference

This paper introduces the replacement of four and six resistors with four and six memristors at the same time for the modified single input Op-Amps oscillator. The full independency between the oscillation condition and the oscillation frequency facilitates the study. Mathematical analysis is provided for the double replacement of resistors with memristors. The whole range of operation of the memristor is taken in consideration and examined for all kind of replacements. Also, the poles of the system are presented while the existence of two, four and six memristors. © 2014 IEEE.

In this work, a generic impedance modeling technique is proposed. The technique is able to identify a circuit model that is most suitable for fitting measured impedance magnitude data using a genetic algorithm solver as well as the optimum circuit model parameters. Experimentally measured and simulated data sets with different noise levels are used to validate the technique. © 2020 Elsevier GmbH

A dynamic model of Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar module is important when it is utilized in conjunction with switching circuits and in grid connected applications. In this paper, a fractional-order dynamical model of a PV source is introduced. The model includes both a fractional series inductor and a parallel capacitor which are in general of two different orders allowing for extra degrees of modeling freedom. An expression for the load current is derived and the step response is investigated for different orders. It is found that the nature of the connections has a dominant effect on the response

Recently, the triple-lobe behavior is found in the I-V characteristics of some memristive devices generating another non-zero pinchoff point. In this paper, a flux-controlled memristive model is developed to generate the triple-lobe behavior (double pinchoff points) based on a fractional second-order model. The conditions for observing triple lobes are derived besides the coordinates of the pinchoff points. Different scenarios have been considered by changing the model parameters and fractional order. Furthermore, the minimum and maximum achievable conductances are analyzed and mathematically
