The topic of memristive circuits is a novel topic in circuit theory that has become of great importance due to its unique behavior which is useful in different applications. But since there is a lack of memristor samples, a memristor emulator is used instead of a solid state memristor. In this paper, a new simple floating voltage-controlled memductor emulator is introduced which is implemented

Most of electric circuits can be viewed as a two port network with two terminals defined as input and output ports. In this paper, two different concepts are combined together which are the two port network concept and the fractional calculus to design a general fractional order two port network with equal order. An oscillator case study with three impedances structure has been presented. The

This paper introduces the replacement of four and six resistors with four and six memristors at the same time for the modified single input Op-Amps oscillator. The full independency between the oscillation condition and the oscillation frequency facilitates the study. Mathematical analysis is provided for the double replacement of resistors with memristors. The whole range of operation of the

In this paper, we investigate the maximum throughput of a saturated rechargeable secondary user (SU) sharing the spectrum with a primary user (PU). The SU harvests energy packets (tokens) from the environment with a certain harvesting rate. All transmitters are assumed to have data buffers. In addition to its own traffic buffer, the SU has a buffer for storing the admitted primary packets for

We study the performance of a cognitive system modeled by one secondary and one primary link and operating under statistical quality of service (QoS) delay constraints. We analyze the effective capacity (EC) to quantify the secondary user (SU) performance under delay constraints. The SU intends to maximize the benefit of the feedback messages on the primary link to reduce SU interference for

In this paper, we study the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the MIMO relay networks. We start with a general Y channel, where each user has Mi antennas and aims to exchange messages with the other two users via a relay equipped with N antennas. Then, we extend our work to a general 4-user MIMO relay network. Unlike most previous work which focused on the total DoF of the network, our aim here is to

In this letter, we consider a cognitive scenario where an energy harvesting secondary user (SU) shares the channel with a primary user (PU). The SU is equipped with two antennas. It maintains a finite capacity energy queue and two infinite capacity data queues: one for storing its own data packets and the other for storing the primary undelivered data packets. The PU communicates with its

We investigate a cognitive radio scenario involving a single cognitive transmitter equipped with K antennas sharing the spectrum with M primary users (PUs) transmitting over orthogonal bands. Each terminal has a queue to store its incoming traffic. We propose a novel protocol where the cognitive user transmits its packet over a channel formed by the aggregate of the inactive primary bands. We

In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio (CR) system where the secondary user (SU) harvests energy from both the nature resources and the primary user (PU) radio frequency (RF) signal. We propose an energy-based probabilistic access scheme in which SU probabilistically accesses and senses the primary channel. The decision is based on the available energy and the PU's activity. We investigate

Abstract: An achievable rate region for a primary multiple access network coexisting with a secondary link of one transmitter and a corresponding receiver is analyzed. The rate region depicts the sum primary rate versus the secondary rate and is established assuming that the secondary link performs rate splitting. The achievable rate region is the union of two types of rate regions. The first type
