Forced spectrum access termination probability analysis under restricted channel handoff by NoroozOliaee, MohammadJavad

“…This paper studies the performance of cognitive radio networks with dynamic multichannel access capability, but while considering realistic channel handoff assumptions, where cognitive users can only move/jump to their immediate neighboring channels. Specifically, we consider a cognitive access network with m channels in which a cognitive user, currently using a particular channel, can only switch to one of its k immediate neighboring channels. …”
