Project Goals and Scope
Investigating opportunistic access networks that
can provide secondary service and are
spectrally-agile
non-instrusive to primary or legacy networks
low cost and broadly applicable
Collaborating with APL (JHU) to measure spectral
activity of key target areas of the secondary
network
ESCAPE: Embedded SpeCtrally
Agile radio Protocol for Evacuation
Problem:
One or more users in a group may detect the return of primaries
To disseminate such information fast and reliably
Interference from primary transmission
Interference from regular secondary transmission
No simultaneous transmission and reception
In-band signaling
ESCAPE:
PHY: predefined evacuation message using a given spreading code
MAC: transmit as soon as the warning message is received
Routing: flooding
Performance metrics
Evacuation time, success probability, peak and average interference during
evacuation, false-alarm rate
Design parameters
Spreading code length, power, number of repetition for a given objective

Evacuation, under submission.
Sensing-based Opportunistic
Channel Access
To collaboratively detect whether a channel is idle and is a
good opportunity
Is the channel “idle”?
Three proposed algorithms to make sensing decision so that the
outage probability is below a certain threshold
Observation: collaborative sensing is very helpful
To do: more robust fading model and measurements with spatial
correlation
Is the channel a good one; i.e., to finish a transmission?
An algorithm based on channel sensing statistics.

Data Collection at JHU/APL
Public safety band at Howard County, MD
Two measurements suites, set at 5, 200, 600 meters apart
Forward and reverse channels
Objective: temporal and spatial correlation
System setup:
The spectral data are sampled with 14 bits at 64 MS/s.
The samples are collected in snapshots of 16384 each, covering
~20 MHz every 100 ms.
This snapshot size allows for DFT bins of ~ 3.9 kHz, which is
enough resolution to discriminate between adjacent forward or
reverse channels as their centers are never closer than 25 kHz.

Current and Future
Research Emphasis
Integrative studies of physical layer, MAC layer,
and network layer
Performance evaluation and model validation.
Data collection, analysis, and public distribution
Feasibility and capacity analysis of 2ndary
network interacting with both non-interactive and
interactive primary systems
Compatibility with CSMA-based primary users
Quantification of capacity and interference tradeoff
