Power Minimization through Packet Retention in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks under Interference and Delay Constraints: An Optimal Stopping Approach

Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cognitive Communications - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 6

Abstract

The aim of this article is twofold: First, we study the problem of packets retention in a queue with the aim of minimizing transmission power in delay-tolerant applications. The problem is classified as an optimal stopping problem. The optimal stopping rule has been derived as well. Optimal number of released packets is determined in each round through an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) optimization problem. This transmission paradigm is tested via simulations in an interference-free environment leading to a significant reduction in transmission power (at least 55%). Second, we address the problem of applying the scheme of packets retention through the Optimal Stopping Policy (OSP) to underlay Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs) where strict interference threshold does exist. Simulations proved that our scheme outperforms traditional transmission method as far as dropped packet rate and Average Power per Transmitted Packet (APTP) are concerned.
