  Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are considered a promising solution for
spectrum resources scarcity and efficient channel utilization. In this letter,
multi-dimensional analytical Markov model based on reservation channel access
scheme and channel aggregation method is proposed to enhance spectrum
utilization, capacity of low priority secondary users (SUs) and reducing
handoff probability of SUs. Moreover, the proposed method improves the
performance of high priority SUs by providing the capability to resume the
connection after dropping. The numerical results indicate that the modified
reservation access model can enhance the performance of SUs compared to the
traditional basic random access model.
