Cognitive radio is an “intelligent” and flexible radio system that can observe and learn from the environment and adapt accordingly

Increased performance
Lower costs, increased revenue
New business models, services

Cognitive Radio brings threats and opportunities for the mobile operator
• Reduced value of spectrum licenses
• Increased interference if other cognitive radios uses the mobile operator’s own spectrum
• Increased (unfair) competition
Threats
Opportunities
• Access to more spectrum in existing networks
• Opportunity to access spectrum in new markets

The methodology focused on both technical and economical evaluation of Cognitive Radio systems
![Page 9: Cognitive Radio from a Mobile Operator's Perspective: System Performance and Business Case Evaluations (PhD defense Pål Grønsund 18.oct 2013)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54c880754a7959a70b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We studied three important areas for Cognitive Radio with focus on the mobile operator's perspective
Dynamic spectrum access in primary OFDMA systems (Paper A)
Sensor Network Aided Cognitive Radio Systems (Papers B - E)
Performance of the first Cognitive Radio Standard IEEE 802.22(Papers F - I)

Dynamic spectrum access in the time dimension in primary OFDMA networks can be possible
…but, our results show that cooperation with the primary operator is important to reduce interference and increase capacity

Sensor Network aided Cognitive Radio (SENDORA) system
![Page 14: Cognitive Radio from a Mobile Operator's Perspective: System Performance and Business Case Evaluations (PhD defense Pål Grønsund 18.oct 2013)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54c880754a7959a70b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Three business case scenarios were studied for the SENDORA concept
Spectrum owner 1
Spectrum owner 2
Spectrum owner N
Joint venture“Spectrum Sharing”
Business case I
New entrant New entrant New entrant
Business case III
Spectrum broker
Business case II

The “spectrum sharing” business case is probably one of the best cases for a SENDORA system
It has free access to spectrum from the mother companies, and good possibilities for re-using existing infrastructure.
The most critical aspects for profitability are:
• Fixed sensor density
• Fixed sensor OPEX
• Subscription fee (service offered)
• Share of new sites
A “new entrant” cognitive radio operator might get a positive business case if it gets the spectrum for free, otherwise it will be difficult.

Cognitive radio is best suited for smaller cells such as WiFi access points and femtocells
Access rule: the interference generated to the primary system should correspond to an increase of the noise floor of less than 0.5 dB with a certain probability PN%.

Offloading the LTE network using Cognitive Femtocells aided by a sensor network
1) deploy cognitive femtocells
2) deploy sensors
3) increase power

We compare with the case of using conventional femtocells and additional base stations
1) deploy conventional femtocells
2) deploy macro base stations

Offloading LTE with cognitive femtocells can be more cost effective than using conventional femtocells and additional base stations
The most business critical parameters for the cognitive femotcell:• cost for backhaul• number of users supported• coverage radius

Performance for different sensing strategies should be considered dependent on required Quality of Service (QoS)
Scenario 3 users receiving Video with Best Effort QoS profile 1 user receiving Voice over IP (VoIP) with Guaranteed Bit Rate QoS profile

Spectrum selection (SSE) functions that utilize sensing results to provide long term statistics can increase performance
SSE-Distance: selects the channel with shortest distance to WMs.
SSE-OnOff: selects the channel with highest probability of being available.
SSE-Hybrid: uses the optimal of SSE-Distance and SSE-OnOff depending on distance to WMs.

In conclusion, a mobile operator can use Cognitive Radio to achieve well performing technical and economic viable solutions
Operators can get access to more spectrum, increase capacity and reduce costs significantly by using sensor network aided cognitive radio systems.
Spectrum selection functions that utilize sensing result statistics to predict primary user behavior can increase performance in IEEE 802.22.

There is a potential to utilize white spaces in primary OFDMA networks, but cooperation with the primary is important.
