Joint Resources Assignment Scheme Based on Graph Coloring Theory and Harmony Search Theory for Cognitive Radio Networks

Abstract:

Spectrum assignment and power assignment are both key technology to use spectrum resource for cognitive radio networks effectively. In this paper, an effective joint resources assignment method is proposed. The objective is to maximize the system throughput and to guarantee the quality of service for the users simultaneously. The method is based on harmony search algorithm and graph coloring theory. It gives a more proper representation of the interference between the users in our system model. Thus, the users can reuse the spectrum more effectively. Simulations show that the proposed method can achieve higher system throughput in the new model than that in the traditional graph model.
