Abstract
Spectrum sensing is not always perfect in practical cognitive radio networks. In this paper, two kinds of sensing errors are considered into the channel allocation scheme. Our work focuses on the cases that the channel availability varies fast during a channel allocation period, in which case the channel dynamics needs to be considered. The sensing errors are modeled to derive the metric of mean delay for each user-channel combination using the vacation queueing model. Further, the optimal resource allocation is determined based on the mean delay metric by bipartite graph matching. The simulation results indicate that the proposed mean delay metric can represent the transmission performance successfully, and the proposed resource allocation scheme is robust to sensing errors.
