Cognitive Radios

Exploration and Exploitation

Cognitive Radio Setting:The secondary network is entitled to reuse efficiently spectrum holes,

so to minimally interfere the primary network;so to maximise the throughput of secondary transmissions;with little or no feedback from the primary network, i.e. autonomously.

To this end, the secondary (or smart, cognitive) network mustlearn about the environment: this is the exploration phase.communicate within the secondary network: this is the exploitation phase.

Both scenarios are inherently multi-dimensional:efficient exploration requires large sensor networks;networks may be composed of multiple users with possibly multiple antennas.

We will discuss both exploration and exploitation phases as (possibly large) multivariate systems.

Exploration: Spectrum Hole Detection

Formulation of the exploration problem

We assume the scenario of a cognitive radio made ofa primary network of K transmitters, equipped with n1, . . . , nK antennas;a secondary network in sensing mode, equipped of N collocated sensors.

At time m, the secondary network receives y(m) ∈ CN as

y(m) =KX

k=1

pPk Hk x(m)

k + σw(m)

Depending on prior information, the secondary network willtry to infer the presence of a signal (we will assume a unique transmitter)try to infer the transmit powers of the K transmitters.

This information allows for:

the detection of spectrum holes;

the evaluation of the optimal secondary coverage;

ideally, the elaboration of a ‘map’ of space-frequency resources.

A Bayesian framework for cognitive radios

We assume prior statistical and deterministic knowledge I on H, σ, P

Using the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt), a prior P(H,σ,P)(H, σ, P) can be derived

PY|Hi ,I(Y) =

Z(H,σ,P)

PY|Hi ,I,H,σ,P(Y)P(H,σ,P)(H, σ, P)d(H, σ, P)

In the following,we derive the case P = 1, σ known and the knowledge about H conveys unitary invariance

E[tr HHH] known: this is what we assume here;E[HHH] = Q unknown but such that E[tr Q] is known;rank(HHH) known.

we compare alternative methods when P = 1 and σ are unknown.

Assuming dimensions N, nk , M grow large, large dimensional random matrix theory providesa link between:

the “observation”: the limiting spectral distribution (l.s.d.) of BN ;the “hidden parameters”: the powers P1, . . . , PK , i.e. the l.s.d. of P.

consistent estimators of the hidden parameters.

Perspectives and Conclusion

The road ahead

signal sensing:optimal hypothesis tests require symmetry, are often computationally prohibitive;situations with more side information demand simpler tests, based on eigen-structure;more realistic scenarios with cooperation will demand a further improvement of such tests.

statistical inference:many methods have been proposed recently (moments, direct inversion, Stieltjes transform . . . )

Stieltjes transform approach seems the most powerful;Stieltjes transform approach suffers when separability is lost;estimating number of sources remains.

test performance must be better evaluated;there is room for extension to more realistic/involved models.

overlaid communications:capacity evaluation in multi-dimensional networks is progressing fast;optimal feedback and cooperation needs to be developed with similar random matrix tools.

Future cognitive radio communications with

open-access communications,

secondary networks coordination,

will demand

a characterization of what information to share,

a merger between random matrix theory and game theory,

a stronger effort on graph-oriented random matrix theory.
