A cognitive radio base station may transmit, for each channel, common
control channel information to a plurality of cognitive radio terminals
at different points in time, respectively. Accordingly, the cognitive
radio base station may receive a channel allocation request from the
plurality of cognitive radio terminals receiving the common control
channel information and allocate a plurality of channels to the plurality
of cognitive radio terminals, respectively, to perform communication. In
response to another terminal existing in a corresponding channel, the
cognitive radio base station may update the common control channel
information and switch to another channel to transmit subsequent common
control channel information at, for example, a closest point in time to
thereby broadcast the updated common control channel information to the
plurality of cognitive radio terminals using the switched channel.
