Transmission delay in large scale ad hoc cognitive radio networks

There has been recent interest within the networking research area to understand the transmission delay in Cognitive Radio (CR) Networks with overlapping primary network and secondary network. In this paper, we investigate the scaling behavior of transmission delay in large scale ad hoc CR networks. We take different scenarios of CR networks into consideration and thus obtain a wind range of results. We first neglect propagation delay and study the ratio of transmission delay to distance, denoted by γ (λsAp and figure out its exact value in supercritical secondary network. In case of subcritical secondary network, we introduce a multi-cluster hop transmission process to get the lower bound of γ (λsAp. Then we take propagation delay into consideration to obtain further results. Finally, we use simulation results to verify our theoretical analysis. The results present the scaling behavior of transmission delay in CR networks and provide the design guidelines for large scale wireless networks.
