Q-MAC Protocol Technique for Cognitive Radio Network

In order to study the performance of the protocol, a new media access control protocol technique is proposed. By comparing this Q-MAC protocol with two other two typical MAC protocols, the simulation results show that the new Q-MAC protocol is simple and efficient. The Q-MAC protocol improves the throughput of the cognitive radio network. It has high spectrum efficiency. This Q-MAC protocol technique not only meets the QoS requirements of time-delay sensitive applications, but also effectively solves the problem of multi-channel hiding terminal.
