Optimal Energy-Efficient Sensing and Power Allocation in Cognitive Radio Networks

Optimal Energy-Efficient Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks

Inspired by the green communication trend of next-generation wireless networks, we select energy-efficient throughput as optimization metric for jointly optimizing sensing time and working sensors in cooperative cognitive radio networks. Specifically, an iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal values for these two parameters. Specifically, the proposed iterative algorithm is low c...

Optimal Power Allocation for MIMO-MAC in Cognitive Radio Networks

This paper considers a cognitive radio (CR) network, in which the unlicensed (secondary) users (SUs) are allowed to concurrently access the spectrum allocated to the licensed (primary) users, provided that the interference of SUs with the primary users (PUs) satisfies certain constraints. It is more general and owns a stronger challenge to ensure the quality of service (QoS) of PUs, as well as ...

Joint Optimal Spectrum Sensing Time and Power Allocation in Ultra Wideband Cognitive Radio Networks

Ultra Wideband (UWB) system is overlapped with various wireless systems, such as WLAN, WiMax and UMTS, which limits the use of UWB. Cognitive Radio (CR) enables UWB systems to efficiently use the overlapped spectrum without causing interference to other wireless systems. In this paper, we focuses on the low-complexity joint optimization algorithm design with respect to transmit power allocation...

Energy-Efficient Power Allocation Strategy in Cognitive Relay Networks

Cognitive radio and cooperative technique are two essential techniques for the future generation green communication paradigm owing to its inherent advantages of adaptability and cognition. Typically, previous studies on power allocation in the cognitive relay networks often concentrate on two goals independently: the first goal is to minimize the transmit power to reduce energy consumption, as...
