Abstract

In this paper, we propose an interference aware throughput maximizing scheduler for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) as part of a MAC layer resource allocation framework. In the considered CRN scenario, the cognitive users with multiple antennas are coordinated by a centralized cognitive base station. We evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme using analysis of variation (ANOVA) technique. We also show experimental results for the total throughput for varying number of cognitive users and frequencies.
