Abstract:

Considering SUs with multiple radios, this paper discusses the cross-layer resource allocation problem for video transmissions in cognitive radio networks. Because of the coupling relationship between radio and channel, this paper proposes a new conflict graph based on the link-radio-channel, and models the resource allocation problem into an optimization problem. The constraints ensure the conflict-free and interference-free video transmissions, and provide flow routing and rate allocation for video services based on the feature of scalable video coding streams. The objective function achieves the network-level throughput maximization with fairness consideration. Simulation results show that the multi-radio transmission could gain a higher throughput. Also, the proposed scheme could provide fairness resource allocation, and use resource efficiently based on the feature of video services.

Key words: cognitive radio network, cross-layer resource allocation, multi-radio transmission, video transmissions
