Fast and reliable dynamic common channel setup and reconstruction in point-to-point DSA networks

Even though many studies have dealt with the common channel issues, the detailed procedures for common channel configuration have not been paid much attention. In this paper, the fast and reliable dynamic common channel setup and reconstruction method for the point-to-point communications in DSA networks is proposed. The detailed time parameters for common channel setup and reconstruction, such as the request-response exchange time, channel request waiting time, and rendezvous time, are taken into consideration. Through the numerical analyses, the delay and throughput performance of the proposed method is evaluated. A variant of the proposed method is also presented, which delay performance is compared with the proposed one.
