Secondary-User-Friendly MAC for Different Pri-

TDMA-based PU networks. By exploiting the unique property of the wireless fading channel and cross-layer design technique, the proposed secondary-user-friendly MAC protocol can improve the overall spectrum utilization. In the future research, we can extend the design experience to different types of PU networks, such as the contention-based PU networks and CDMA-based PU networks.
