| Résumé : | Diversity techniques are of importance in the context of cognitive radio networks since they enable the primary and secondary terminals to simultaneously and efficiently share the spectral resources in the same location. In this paper, we investigate a simple, yet powerful, diversity scheme based on the exploitation of the polarimetric dimension. More precisely, we consider a scenario where the cognitive terminals use cross- polarized communications with respect to the primary users. Our approach is network-centric, i.e., the performance of the proposed dual- polarized system is investigated in terms of link throughput in the primary and the secondary networks. Our results suggest that the polarimetric dimension represents a remarkable (and simple to implement) opportunity in the context of cognitive radio networks. |
