To address this issue, we first describe the network utility under energy constraint as a max-min model, where the re-transmission strategy with network coding is employed. Additionally, the expression of retransmission probability is presented in terms of power and bit error rate （BER）. Moreover, since the max-min model is non-convex in both objective and constraints, we use a normal- form game to find a near-optimal solution. The simulation results show that the proposed approach could achieve a higher network utility than the compared approaches.展开更多

This is because mobility may cause radio links to break frequently. The reliability of a path depends on the availability of those links that constitutes the path. In this letter, we present a novel approach to predict the probability of the availability of the link between two cognitive radio nodes. The prediction is achieved by estimating the link activation and spectrum activation probabilities. Our prediction is verified by simulation and proved to be accurate. This study can provide reliability assurance on dynamic routing for cognitive radio ad hoc networks.展开更多

With the distributed and timevarying network topology, it needs to consider how to optimize the throughput and power consuming, avoid the interference to primary users(PUs) and other SUs, and pay attention to the convergence and fairness of the algorithm. In this study, this problem is modeled as a constraint optimization problem. Each SU would adjust its power and corresponding strategy with the goal of maximizing its throughput. By studying the interactions between SUs in power allocation and strategy selection, we introduce best-response dynamics game theory and prove the existence of Nash equilibrium(NE) point for performance analysis. We further design a fully distributed algorithm to make the SUs formulate their strategy based on their utility functions, the strategy and number of neighbors in local area. Compared with the water-filling(WF) algorithm, the proposed scheme can significantly increase convergent speed and average throughput, and decrease the power consuming of SUs.展开更多
