Cross-Layer Antenna Selection and Channel Allocation for MIMO Cognitive Radios

We propose algorithms to address the spectrum efficiency and fairness issues of multi band multiuser Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) cognitive ad-hoc networks. To improve the transmission efficiency of the MIMO system, a cross layer antenna selection algorithm is proposed. Using the transmission efficiency results, user data rate of the cognitive ad-hoc network is determined. Objective function for the average data rate of the multi band multiuser cognitive MIMO ad-hoc network is also defined. For the average data rate objective function, primary users interference is considered as performance constraint. Furthermore, using the user data rate results, a learning-based channel allocation algorithm is proposed. Finally, numerical results are presented for performance evaluation of the proposed antenna selection and channel allocation algorithms.
