Proactive Spectrum Access 

-- Lei Yang, Lili Cao, Prof. Heather Zheng

We are working on providing reliable spectrum access for secondary users in the presence of primary users.  We presented an alternative approach to traditional reactive spectrum access (sense and leave) approach. Proactive spectrum access allows nodes to observe and predict future spectrum availability and schedule spectrum access and connectivity patterns to fully utilize rich yet dynamicall-available spectrum white-space. See our papers in TAPAS 2006, and Crowncom 2007, PHYCOM 08 for details.
