The network opportunistically accesses vacant channels in the licensed spectrum. \i\Then the current channel becomes unavailable, the devices switch to another available channel. The network supports both real-time and non-real-time traffic. Delay performance for the real-time traffic and throughput for the non-real- time traffic are studied. Two types of the real-time traffic are considered: bursty traffic where a burst of packets are generated periodically and each burst includes a random number of packets, and Poisson traffic where packet arrivals follow a Poisson process. Analytical models are developed for the average packet transmission delay 'when supporting each type of the real-time traffic, and simulation results of both the average transmission delay and packet drop rate performance are demonstrated . Our results indicate that real-time traffic can be effectively supported in the CRSN. Given the total number of candidate channels that can possibly be used by a CRSN, we consider how to allocate the channels among different clusters in order to maximize the system throughput. A heuristic scheme is designed to find the optimum channel allocations that achieves the same throughput as the exhaustive search method.</p> |
