Abstract

Television white space is a promising technology that addresses the issue of spectrum scarcity in wireless communication. Recent years have seen a rise in the number of studies focusing on the propagation characteristics of the Television White Space (TVWS), which is the frequency range between 54MHz and 790MHz. However, interference is one of the significant issues that limit the utilization of available spectrum in TV bands, lower the quality of services among cognitive(secondary) users, and cause harmful destruction to licensed users. In literature, a lot of work has been done to address the challenge of interference in TVWS networks but many of them focused on interference between primary and secondary users in order to protect the licensed (primary) users while few did among secondary users. As a result, in this work, we employ a particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the spectrum and reduce interference among secondary users. Furthermore, we compare the performance of particle swarm optimization with the artificial bee colony algorithm. Simulation results obtained show that particle swarm optimization outperforms the artificial bee algorithm thus indicting its strength in reducing interference among secondary users.
