Some MIMO applications in cognitive radio networks by Salib, Feeby Magdy Girgis

“…Motivated by MIMO techniques that have been used in practical systems as a means for high data rate transmission and a source for spatial diversity, and by its ease implementation with OFDM, different issues in multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) in both the uplink and downlink in the context of cognitive radio are studied in this thesis. More specifically, in the first thrust of this thesis, the spectrum spatial holes which could exist in an uplink MU-MIMO cell as a result of the possible free spatial dimensions resulted from the sparse activity of the primary users is studied; a modified sensing algorithm for these spectrum spatial holes that exploit both the block structure of the OFDM signals and the correlation of their activity states along time are proposed. …”
