HARQ Feedback in Spectrum Sharing Networks
This letter studies the throughput and the outage probability of spectrum
sharing networks utilizing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. We
focus on the repetition time diversity and the incremental redundancy HARQ
protocols where the results are obtained for both continuous and bursting
communication models. The channel data transmission efficiency is investigated
in the presence of both secondary user peak transmission power and primary user
received interference power constraints. Finally, we evaluate the effect of
secondary-primary channel state information imperfection on the performance of
the secondary channel. Simulation results show that, while the throughput is
not necessarily increased by HARQ, substantial outage probability reduction is
achieved in all conditions.Comment: Published in IEEE Communications Letter
Optimal Random Access and Random Spectrum Sensing for an Energy Harvesting Cognitive Radio
We consider a secondary user with energy harvesting capability. We design
access schemes for the secondary user which incorporate random spectrum sensing
and random access, and which make use of the primary automatic repeat request
(ARQ) feedback. The sensing and access probabilities are obtained such that the
secondary throughput is maximized under the constraints that both the primary
and secondary queues are stable and that the primary queueing delay is kept
lower than a specified value needed to guarantee a certain quality of service
(QoS) for the primary user. We consider spectrum sensing errors and assume
multipacket reception (MPR) capabilities. Numerical results are presented to
show the enhanced performance of our proposed system over a random access
system, and to demonstrate the benefit of leveraging the primary feedback.Comment: in WiMob 201
Power-Optimal Feedback-Based Random Spectrum Access for an Energy Harvesting Cognitive User
In this paper, we study and analyze cognitive radio networks in which
secondary users (SUs) are equipped with Energy Harvesting (EH) capability. We
design a random spectrum sensing and access protocol for the SU that exploits
the primary link's feedback and requires less average sensing time. Unlike
previous works proposed earlier in literature, we do not assume perfect
feedback. Instead, we take into account the more practical possibilities of
overhearing unreliable feedback signals and accommodate spectrum sensing
errors. Moreover, we assume an interference-based channel model where the
receivers are equipped with multi-packet reception (MPR) capability.
Furthermore, we perform power allocation at the SU with the objective of
maximizing the secondary throughput under constraints that maintain certain
quality-of-service (QoS) measures for the primary user (PU)
Allocation conjointe de puissance et rendement d'un utilisateur cognitif exploitant les retransmissions d'un utilisateur primaire : le cas du canal en Z
National audienceDans cet article, nous considérons le problème de l’allocation conjointe de puissance et de rendement pour un utilisateur secondaire exploitant le protocole de retransmission d’un utilisateur primaire. Nous proposons un algorithme, basé sur les Processus de Markov Décisionnels (MDP), permettant de calculer une allocation optimale pour le problème de la maximisation du débit de l’utilisateur secondaire tout en garantissant un débit minimal pour l’utilisateur primaire
Optimal Random Access and Random Spectrum Sensing for an Energy Harvesting Cognitive Radio with and without Primary Feedback Leveraging
We consider a secondary user (SU) with energy harvesting capability. We
design access schemes for the SU which incorporate random spectrum sensing and
random access, and which make use of the primary automatic repeat request (ARQ)
feedback. We study two problem-formulations. In the first problem-formulation,
we characterize the stability region of the proposed schemes. The sensing and
access probabilities are obtained such that the secondary throughput is
maximized under the constraints that both the primary and secondary queues are
stable. Whereas in the second problem-formulation, the sensing and access
probabilities are obtained such that the secondary throughput is maximized
under the stability of the primary queue and that the primary queueing delay is
kept lower than a specified value needed to guarantee a certain quality of
service (QoS) for the primary user (PU). We consider spectrum sensing errors
and assume multipacket reception (MPR) capabilities. Numerical results show the
enhanced performance of our proposed systems.Comment: ACCEPTED in EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cognitive Communications.
