Rendezvous of Cognitive Radios

In Chap. 1, we introduce the rendezvous/control channel establishment problem in the MAC layer protocol and the design requirements for a channel hopping (CH) based rendezvous establishment protocol, a.k.a. CH schemes. However, most, if not all, of the existing CH schemes [6, 23, 91, 93, 103] only provide ad-hoc approaches for generating CH sequences and evaluating their properties.
