This SpringerBrief presents recent advances in the cognitive MAC
designs for opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) networks. It covers
the basic MAC functionalities and MAC enhancements of IEEE 802.11.
Later chapters discuss the existing MAC protocols for OSA and
classify them based on characteristic features. The authors provide
new research in adaptive carrier sensing-based MAC designs tailored
for OSA, which optimize spectrum utilization and ensure a peaceful
coexistence of licensed and unlicensed systems. Analytically
devised via optimization and game-theoretic approaches, these
adaptive MAC designs are shown to effectively reduce collisions
between both primary and secondary network users. Researchers and
professionals working in wireless communications and networks will
find this content valuable. This brief is also a useful study guide
for advanced-level students in computer science and electrical
engineering.
