Abstract

The aim of this study is to introduce a conceptual framework for the new approach Intelligent Proactive Pre-emptive Unified Spectrum Handoff (IP PRO-PUSH) algorithm is presented, which is a highly potential intelligent technology to intelligently address the spectrum scarcity challenges in Cognitive Radio Mobile Ad hoc Networks (CR-MANETs). The fact that spectrum is a limited natural resource poses technology challenge to ensure the available frequency is used efficiently and able to cope with new services which definitely requires more bandwidth in the future. However, over the past years, traditional approaches to spectrum management have been challenged by new insights into actual use of spectrum. In order to improve the utilization of the overall radio spectrum, the Cognitive Radio (CR) is a useful solution to this low utilization of the radio spectrum. The variation in spectrum band is called spectrum mobility. The objective of the current study is to investigate the Intelligent-Based (IB) cognitive radio learning for IP Pro-PUSH and local routing based on spectrum mobility in mobile Cognitive Radio Ad hoc Networks (CR-MANET) along with a conceptual framework and its connections.
