Abstract

In cognitive radio networks, a secondary user (SU) is dependent upon the spectrum, of varied frequency, temporarily vacated by primary users (PU) thereby making it quite a challenging task to design a protocol for finding a reliable and efficient routing path. To address the issue many routing schemes have been proposed based upon Mamdani type fuzzy inference system (FIS) to create a human intelligence analogy. The Mamdani type fuzzy inference mechanism is unable to simultaneously optimise multiple quality of service (QoS) parameters. This paper proposes a routing scheme based upon the Sugeno type fuzzy inference system (SFIS) that handles the continuously changing input parameters in quite effective manner and provides an effective performance with respect to multiple QoS parameters. The proposed routing scheme has been implemented using Matlab-9.0 and simulation results showed that the paths selected using this scheme are much more efficient than the paths selected by other routing schemes.
