A Homogeneous Multi-Radio Rendezvous Algorithm for Cognitive Radio Networks.

In this letter, a homogeneous multi-radio channel-hopping (CH) rendezvous algorithm that is backward compatible with any number of radios for cognitive radio networks is proposed. This algorithm is applicable to CH sequences that have uniform time-to-rendezvous (TTR) patterns and also achieves improved (exact) maximum-TTR, which is a linear function of a number of available channels instead of quadratic functions in heterogeneous multi-radio algorithms.
