摘要:

This paper studies the problem of effective resource allocation for multi-radio access technologies (Multi-RAT) nodes in heterogeneous cognitive wireless networks (HCWNs). End-to-end utility, which is defined as the delay of end-to-end communication, is taken into account in this paper. In the scenario of HCWNs, it is assumed that the cognitive radio nodes have the ability of Multi-RAT and can communicate with each other through different paths simultaneously by splitting the arrival packets. In this paper, the problem is formulated as the optimization of split ratio and power allocation of the source cognitive radio node to minimize the delay of end-to-end communication, and a low complexity step-by-step iterative algorithm is proposed. Numerical results show good performance of the proposed algorithm over two other conventional algorithms.
