摘要:Dynamic spectrum access is an attractive area of research these days. Cognitive Radio (CR) enabled networks are being deployed to effectively utilize the RF spectrum. Wireless mesh networks have been experiencing the bandwidth scarcity but such networks can easily enhance their throughput by using the CR transceivers as these networks have the capability of multipath routing. Existing routing proposals for Mesh Cognitive Radio Networks (MCRNs) are not considering the dynamic spectrum availability. They try to treat CRNs as traditional wireless networks. Even some proposals treat the problems of these networks like that of wired networks and use the same parameter for route discovery as for wired networks. In this paper, we propose a joint interaction between on-demand routing and channel assignment that accounts the characteristics of CRNs.
