SIGNALLING METHOD OF DETECTING HIDDEN INCUMBENT SYSTEM IN COGNITIVE RADIO ENVIRONMENT AND CHANNEL FRACTIONING METHOD USED TO ENABLE THE METHOD

摘要

A signaling method between a cognitive radio (CR) base station and a CR terminal in a CR environment, and a channel division method used for the signaling method, includes: detecting a channel usage of an incumbent system, which communicates with a CR base station; sensing an outband channel to communicate with the CR base station; receiving an EOS, which is broadcasted from the CR base station via the outband channel according to a predetermined period; and transmitting a sensing report signal with respect to the channel to the CR base station.
