    Channel notching in Cognitive Radio Networks

    Software Recommended: NetSim Standard v12.1 (32/64 bit), Visual Studio 2019

    In Cognitive Radio networks, the secondary user (CR CPE) actively senses for the presence of the
    primary user (Incumbent). If the CR_CPE detects the primary user, then UCS Notifications will be sent
    by the secondary user to the base station. UCS notifications are generated at the end of the quiet
    period. Upon receiving the UCS notification BS checks for possible interference between Primary and
    secondary users. If interference is detected, secondary users vacate the channel and will be moved to
    a different vacant channel if available.

    Channel Notching basically allows the primary and secondary users to co-exist in the same channel.
    This is achieved by allowing the secondary users to use the free sub channels which are not occupied
    by the primary users, as compared to the standard case (without channel notching), where the entire
    channel is blocked even if some of the sub channels of that channel are being used by the Incumbent.

    Hence, in cases where there are limited available channels, using Channel Notching will help in
    achieving higher throughput and channel utilization.

    Note: Channel notching code will work only for a single Channel, single CR-CPE and for at-most one
    Incumbent.

    Steps:
    1. The downloaded project folder contains the folders Documentation and Channel Notching
    Workspace directory as shown below:

    2. Import Channel_Notching_Workspace by going to Open Simulation->Workspace


    Options->More Options in NetSim Home window. Then select Import as shown below:
    3. It displays a window where users need to give the path of the workspace folder and click on
    OK as shown below:

    4. Browse to the Channel_Notching_Workspace_v12 folder and click on select folder as


    shown below:

    5. After this click on OK button in the Import Workspace window.


    6. While importing the workspace, if the following warning message indicating Software Version
    Mismatch is displayed, you can ignore it and proceed.
    7. The Imported workspace will be set as the current workspace automatically. To see the
    imported workspace, click on Open Simulation->Workspace Options->More Options as
    shown below:

    8. Open the Source codes in Visual Studio by going to Open Simulation-> Workspace Options
    and Clicking on Open code button as shown below:
    9. In the Solution Explorer, go to Cognitive Radio > 802_22.h and open it.

    10. If you want to enable Channel Notching, uncomment (if commented)


    #define _CHANNEL_NOTCHING_

    11. Right click on Solution Explorer-> Rebuild project

    12. You should see a message in the Output window as shown in the following figure.
    13. Then Channel_Notching_Workspace comes with a sample configuration that is already
    saved. To open this example, go to Open Simulation and click on the that is present under the
    list of experiments as shown below:

    14. The scenario looks like


    15. And set BS properties as

    16. Run the scenario for both the cases: with channel notching and without it. The throughputs
    obtained will be 0.002949 and 0.000000 respectively
