Abstract
The common control channel problem has become one of the
main research challenges in a dynamic spectrum access
(DSA) based ad hoc network without a global common
channel. The basic question lies in how the control
channels of the network are aligned in a reliable and
distributed way with minimum management overhead. We
propose in this paper a novel concept of the control
channel cloud to handle this problem. A control channel
cloud is a group of connected nodes using the same
control channel. The idea is to have clouds evolved by
merging so that few control channels are used in the
network. In this paper the basic cloud operations are
introduced to merge cloud in different situations. The
cloud formation algorithms are proposed based on the
cloud operations. We prove the convergence of the
algorithms and study their performance by simulation
