Abstract
Recent developments in vehicular communication demands dynamic channel allocation strategies as well as their implementation in an effective way. A cognitive radio ad hoc network (C-RAN) designed specifically to serve the requirements of smart transportation in a smart city scenario is expected to fulfil these demands. Dynamic utilization of available bandwidth can be accomplished through various C-RAN techniques such as spectrum handover. Such mechanism allows a secondary user (non-owner) to exploit the channel utilities when it is not used by the primary user (licensed owner). In this paper, Dynamic Channel Allocation Mechanism (DCAM) is proposed in order to facilitate reduced handovers in C-RANs. With the help of analytical means, the performance of DCAM is evaluated in terms of various metrics and compared with other similar existing techniques. The results are observed to provide significant improvements which strongly lace the proposed scheme ahead of the others in the mentioned performance metrics.
