Maximizing energy conservation in a centralized cognitive radio network architecture

This paper proposes two energy-aware algorithms exploited for optimal resources administration and maximum energy conservation of secondary communication nodes in a centralized cognitive radio network architecture. The proposed algorithms optimally enable efficient TV White Spaces exploitation, through a radio spectrum broker that administrates the resources trading process, based on real-time secondary spectrum market policy. In addition, both algorithms adopt a joint path lifetime and utility maximization scheme, which encompasses a capacity-aware policy for achieving minimum energy consumption and reliability during the resource sharing process. Validity of both algorithms is verified through several sets of extended experimental/simulation tests, carried out under controlled conditions.
