ITU Journal: ICT Discoveries
The ITU Journal: ICT Discoveries publishes original research on ICT technical developments and their policy and regulatory, economic, social and legal dimensions. It builds bridges between disciplines, connects theory with application, and stimulates international dialogue. This interdisciplinary approach reflects ITU’s comprehensive field of interest and explores the convergence of ICT with other disciplines. It also features review articles, best practice implementation tutorials and case studies. The ITU Journal welcomes submissions at any time, on any topic within its scope.

Bayesian online learning-based spectrum occupancy prediction in cognitive radio networks
Predicting the near future of primary user (PU) channel state availability (i.e. spectrum occupancy) is quite important in cognitive radio networks in order to avoid interfering its transmission by a cognitive spectrum user (i.e. secondary user (SU)). This paper introduces a new simple method for predicting PU channel state based on energy detection. In this method, we model the PU channel state detection sequence (i.e. “PU channel idle” and “PU channel occupied”) as a time series represented by two different random variable distributions. We then introduce Bayesian online learning (BOL) to predict in advance the changes in time series (i.e. PU channel state.), so that the secondary user can adjust its transmission strategies accordingly. A simulation result proves the efficiency of the new approach in predicting PU channel state availability.
