RARE: A Spectrum Aware Cross-Layer MAC Protocol for Cognitive Radio Ad-Hoc Networks

This paper proposes a spectRum Aware cRoss-layEr (RARE) medium access control protocol for cognitive radio ad-hoc networks. The RARE protocol initially splits the network into clusters, where cluster formation is defined as maximum edge biclique problem. Besides, in order to maintain the integrity o...
