Modified spider monkey optimization—An enhanced optimization of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks

At present, the demand for wireless communications is growing tremendously. Cognitive radio network plays an important role in making the spectrum to be used effectively. Uncertainty in channels and interference were generally occurs that reduced the system efficiency. To overcome the load usage problem, the proposed system of spectrum sensing and scheduling algorithms is introduced, where the available spectrums are sensed or detected and scheduled to load the free spectrum. Spectrum sensing is a cognitive radio basic function to thwart the harmful interference with licensed users and detect the available spectrum for enhancing the spectrum's utilization. In the proposed technique, initially, the spectrum sharing and sensing method is put forward to raise the throughput and quality of service necessity. At this time, spectrum sharing in common with scheduling process is presented, where the available spectrum, the load is scheduled and sensed to free the spectrum. Here, the modified spider monkey optimization (MSMO) technique is used for spectrum sensing and detecting free spectrums, thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of the available spectrum. This technique will found the optimal solution and increases the expectation of some decisions. Modified round robin algorithm is used for scheduling load. In this algorithm, every packet flow has its packet queue presented in the network interface controller. The performance analysis is finally measured using metrics such as throughput, handoff, success probability, and false alarm probability.
