Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a channel selection algorithm based on temporal characterization of spectrum holes. This algorithm is conceived to be implemented within a decentralized Radio Resources Management operation where decision making processes are executed at the mobile terminal side. Different scenarios are considered to test the effectiveness of this algorithm in improving the spectrum efficiency.
