Summary:This paper introduces a novel rendezvous protocol (RAC 2 E) for dynamic control channel provisioning among cognitive radios in a decentralized and cooperative ad-hoc environments. Unlike previous work in the field, RAC 2 E does not require synchronization in the radio environment. Its main characteristics are lightweight design and scalability. The paper elaborates RAC 2 E operation, gives a numerical analysis of its performance behavior under different circumstances and demonstrates its functionalities on a testbed platform realized with four Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2 (USRP2) nodes.
