  • Fig. 1 comprises a plurality of nodes, for example, a primary user 106 coupled to a communications antenna 108, and a plurality of secondary users, node one 102 to node N 104.
  • the primary user is a television broadcaster who has licensed a channel on the radio spectrum and uses that licensed channel to broadcast content to TV viewers (not shown). Some television broadcasters do not broadcast continuously and/or some television channels are completely vacant, thus openings in the radio spectrum are available.
  • the secondary users 102, 104 use these openings, also known as spectrum opportunity, to communicate with each other and/or with a communication base station (not shown) when the primary user 106 is not using the channel. Since secondary users 102, 104 must typically vacate the channel when a primary user 106 is present on the channel, the secondary users 102, 104 use quiet periods (QPs) to sense for a primary user 106. This is also known as in-band sensing. Two methods of in-band sensing, i.e., scheduled and unscheduled, are described in further detail below. In Fig. 1 the primary user is a licensed user of a channel, however, in one embodiment, the primary user can be a higher priority user in an unlicensed channel. In one embodiment, a regulatory body, such as, for example, the FCC in the USA, can determine the priority of channel users. The primary user can be any signal or radiation that would require a secondary user to vacate the channel.
  • the radio spectrum comprises a plurality of channels, both licensed and unlicensed, and secondary users 102, 104 can use one or more of those channels for communication.
  • the secondary users 102, 104 illustrated in Fig. 1 may be communicating on separate channels with different users and/or base stations. Additionally, in one embodiment, even though the secondary users 102, 104 are operating in different channels, the secondary users 102, 104 can communicate information, such as, for example, channel conditions, to each other.
  • secondary users 102, 104 may be forced from one channel into another because of the presence of a primary user 106.
  • secondary users 102, 104 can sense for primary users 106 in channels in which the secondary users 102, 104 are currently operating, and in channels in which they are not operating, also known as out-of-band sensing.
  • the channel in which a secondary user 102, 104 is operating is also known as the home channel, and all other channels are called foreign channels.
  • in-band sensing takes place on a secondary user's 102, 104 home channel, while out-of-band sensing occurs on foreign channels.
  • secondary users 102, 104 can coordinate the usage of the multiple channels. For example, in one embodiment, information associated with quiet periods of different channels is disseminated across two or more secondary devices 102, 104. Using this disseminated information, quiet periods can be scheduled so that quiet periods on different channels do not overlap.
  • One advantage of non-overlapping QPs is that a secondary device can perform out-of-band sensing of another channel during that channel's QP without having to sacrifice a quiet period on its own channel.

  • scheduled QPs are scheduled by secondary users 102, 104 beforehand.
  • Secondary users 102, 104 on the same home channel know about the existence of these scheduled QPs before they take place, and the scheduled QPs have a known start time and duration. During this time the secondary users 102, 104 suspend their transmission and perform in-band sensing. These scheduled QPs can be periodic and can occur over multiple superframes.
  • scheduled QPs are communicated in regularly transmitted control packets.
  • scheduled QPs are communicated in beacon packets, which are supported in many existing wireless networks, such as, IEEE 802.11, WiMedia UWB MAC, IEEE 802.15, and other wireless protocols.
  • beacon packets also referred to as beacons, are broadcast periodically and are used to convey network control information, thus beacons are good candidates for carrying information regarding scheduled QPs.
  • On-demand QPs are initiated during a superframe by a secondary user 102, 104 that detects an urgent situation that requires a QP. For example, a possible primary user 106 is sensed on the channel. In urgent situations, the secondary users can't wait for a scheduled QP and must enter a QP immediately.
  • An on-demand QP can be initiated by a single secondary user and does not have to have the same periodicity as a scheduled QP. In one embodiment (not shown), an on-demand QP can overlap and take the place of a scheduled QP. Similar to scheduled QPs, secondary users 102, 104 on the same home channel suspend transmissions and perform in-band sensing during an on-demand QP.

While Fig. 5 illustrates only 2 channels, a multi-channel QP management can be scaled to any number of channels. As illustrated in Fig. 5 by the broken arrows, the scheduled QPs in Ci do not overlap in time with the scheduled QPs of C 2 . Since QPs are not overlapping, a node that uses Ci as its home channel can perform spectrum sensing in channel C 2 during C 2 's QP without having to miss an in-band sensing opportunity during a QP of its home channel C 1 .

Abstract

Les dispositifs à agilité spectrale se servent des parties non exploitées ou sous-exploitées du spectre radio pour communiquer. Toutefois, lorsqu'un utilisateur principal du canal lance une opération, le dispositif à agilité spectrale doit en particulier libérer le canal. Par conséquent, les dispositifs à agilité spectrale utilisent les périodes silencieuses pour détecter la présence d'un dispositif principal. Les périodes silencieuses peuvent être programmées ou fournies à la demande, et amorcées de manière à ne pas se chevaucher sur les différents canaux.
