AbstractMost existing studies on cognitive-radio networks assume that cognitive users (CUs) can switch to any available channel, regardless of the frequency gap between a target channel and
the current channel. However, due to hardware limitations, CUs
can actually jump only so far from where the operating frequency
of their current channel is. This paper studies the performance
of cognitive-radio networks while considering realistic channel
handoff agility, where CUs can only switch to their neighboring
channels. We use a continuous-time Markov process to derive and
analyze the forced termination and blocking probabilities of CUs.
Using these derived probabilities, we then study and analyze the
impact of limited spectrum handoff agility on cognitive spectrum
access efficiency. We show that accounting for realistic spectrum
handoff agility reduces performance of cognitive-radio networks
in terms of spectrum access capability and efficiency.
Index TermsDynamic spectrum access, performance modeling and analysis, spectrum handoff agility.
