Slotted adaptive frequency hopping and rolling scheme for multi-net cognitive radio with experimental result

In this paper, we propose a slotted adaptive frequency hopping and rolling (SAFHR) scheme to realize the dynamic spectrum access for cognitive radio (CR). First, based on the CR spectrum sensing result and the quadratic prime code, an adaptive frequency hopping scheme is designed to avoid the frequency static interference due to primary user (PU). Secondly, adaptive frequency rolling scheme is incorporated to combat the frequency dynamic interference in the presence of multiple CR nets. As a whole, the SAFHR algorithm aims to maximize the frequency spectrum utilization and frequency diversity for each CR user, and to accommodate as many CR users as possible. By employing a so called Instruments-in-MATLAB software defined radio (IM-SDR) platform, experimental results of the SAFHR scheme is demonstrated under the scenario with two CR nets, five CR nodes, and one PU.
