  • Patent number: 11777636
    Abstract: A joint link-level and network-level intelligent system and method for dynamic spectrum anti-jamming are provided. The system includes a link-level anti-jamming subsystem and a network-level anti-jamming subsystem. The link-level anti-jamming subsystem sets a reward value as system transmission throughput in a single decision cycle, and a user makes an intelligent frequency usage decision based on the obtained reward value to skip a frequency band in which jamming exists. The network-level anti-jamming subsystem performs reasonable frequency band allocation and management for lower-level sub-users when link-level anti-jamming fails to further enhance a frequency domain anti-jamming capability of the entire system. The users make intelligent frequency usage decisions through a dynamic spectrum anti-jamming algorithm based on reinforcement learning to effectively avoid external malicious jamming, realize dynamic spectrum access, and enhance a frequency domain anti-jamming capability of the system.

  • Patent number: 9247551
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cognitive SIMO network access method based on cooperative relay, wherein a cognitive base station collects channel responses in a network and judges whether the cognitive users can cooperate with a primary user to achieve the target transmission rate required by the primary user or not, if so, a cognitive SIMO network is accessible to a frequency band licensed to the primary user; otherwise, the cognitive SIMO network is non-accessible. The access method can enable a plurality of the cognitive users and the primary user to simultaneously use the same licensed spectrum in the same geographical position, on the premise of ensuring the target transmission rate of the primary user, and further improve the utilization efficiency of the spectrum as far as possible.

  • Patent number: 9137784
    Abstract: A resource distribution method for throughput maximization in a cooperative cognitive SIMO network. The primary user sends data after receiving a cooperation confirmation message, and the cognitive network keeps silent, receives the information data of the primary user and simultaneously decodes the data. The cognitive users which successfully decode the data send the data of themselves to the cognitive base station and forward the data of the primary user; the cognitive users which cannot successfully decode the data only send the data of themselves and do not forward the data of the primary user. The cognitive base station eliminates the interference of the data of primary user and performs beamforming for the signals. According to the combined adjustment the maximum throughput performance can be realized in the cognitive network.
