Abstract

In this paper we analyze the effects of channel availability on channel access delay and service probability of cognitive networks using a modified IEEE 802.11 Media Access Control Protocol (MAC). For the designed cognitive network, cognitive communication is limited by the interference imposed on primary users. We determine the probability of accessing the channel under Rayleigh fading condition for this opportunistic network. We then use this probability to determine the embedded Markov model of the cognitive nodes. We use this Markov model to determine the average channel access delay, and service rate of cognitive nodes. Both simulation and analytical results are presented to access the system performance.
