Abstract

Wireless communications deployed in the current epoch claims ceaseless connection among its users thereby leading to the investigation of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) which enables to make use of unallocated spectrum optimally and provides uninterrupted connection. Establishing interminable connectivity during the handoff process in spectrum mobility of CRN is a challenging task. This paper elucidates the optimization of handoff process carried out in CRN by incorporating an intelligent method. This includes fuzzy logic wherein the handoff parameters are processed thereby indicating the need of handoff. The proffered method also comprises of a part of genetic algorithm which yields fitness value for reducing the handoff occurrences and enhancing the overall performance of the system is promoted using cuckoo search which decides the mobile node from which the handoff process has to initiate based on the priority generated. This technique ensures that decision is taken ahead of link failure rather than range failure which are the key point in comparison to the existing system. Results obtained through the simulation are satisfactory in terms of delay, throughput, number of failed handoff and handoffs performed in comparison to the existing fuzzy based handoff process in CRN.
