Spectrum Allocation With Guaranteed Rendezvous in Asynchronous Cognitive Radio Networks for Internet of Things

The massive usage of Internet-of-Things devices in various smart applications enables spectrum scarcity issues. In order to enhance the dynamic spectrum capability, cognitive radio network (CRN) is considered as a key technology to address the spectrum scarcity problem. However, the establishment of a common communication channel in CRN by considering the unlicensed heterogeneous devices in an asynchronous environment is a challenging problem....
