摘要
In this article, an analytical model for predictable contact between two cognitive users in the intermittently connected cognitive radio ad hoc networks is proposed. The salient feature of the model is that it establishes a relationship between contact availability and the intermittently connected cognitive radio ad hoc network design parameters including cognitive user transmission range, velocity of cognitive user, direction of cognitive user, velocity of primary user, direction of primary user, and interference radius of primary user. However, a detailed analytical model is not available in the literature up to now. In particular, the relationship between contact availability and interference radius of primary user has not been derived in previous models. To research the contact availability, the concept of contact degree is first proposed to quantify the probability of contact availability between two cognitive users. In addition, the formulation for the contact degree between two cognitive users from different cases is illustrated in detail in this article. Under the contact degree scenario, the continuous effective contact time is derived to examine the communication duration of cognitive users based on the modified random walk mobility model. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed analytical model for predictable contact in the intermittently connected cognitive radio ad hoc networks.
