Optimal Selection of Spectrum Sensing Duration for an Energy Harvesting Cognitive Radio
In this paper, we consider a time-slotted cognitive radio (CR) setting with
buffered and energy harvesting primary and CR users. At the beginning of each
time slot, the CR user probabilistically chooses the spectrum sensing duration
from a predefined set. If the primary user (PU) is sensed to be inactive, the
CR user accesses the channel immediately. The CR user optimizes the sensing
duration probabilities in order to maximize its mean data service rate with
constraints on the stability of the primary and cognitive queues. The
optimization problem is split into two subproblems. The first is a
linear-fractional program, and the other is a linear program. Both subproblems
can be solved efficiently.Comment: Accepted in GLOBECOM 201
Optimal Cooperative Cognitive Relaying and Spectrum Access for an Energy Harvesting Cognitive Radio: Reinforcement Learning Approach
In this paper, we consider a cognitive setting under the context of
cooperative communications, where the cognitive radio (CR) user is assumed to
be a self-organized relay for the network. The CR user and the PU are assumed
to be energy harvesters. The CR user cooperatively relays some of the
undelivered packets of the primary user (PU). Specifically, the CR user stores
a fraction of the undelivered primary packets in a relaying queue (buffer). It
manages the flow of the undelivered primary packets to its relaying queue using
the appropriate actions over time slots. Moreover, it has the decision of
choosing the used queue for channel accessing at idle time slots (slots where
the PU's queue is empty). It is assumed that one data packet transmission
dissipates one energy packet. The optimal policy changes according to the
primary and CR users arrival rates to the data and energy queues as well as the
channels connectivity. The CR user saves energy for the PU by taking the
responsibility of relaying the undelivered primary packets. It optimally
organizes its own energy packets to maximize its payoff as time progresses
Improving performance of far users in cognitive radio: Exploiting NOMA and wireless power transfer
In this paper, we examine non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and relay selection strategy to benefit extra advantage from traditional cognitive radio (CR) relaying systems. The most important requirement to prolong lifetime of such network is employing energy harvesting in the relay to address network with limited power constraint. In particular, we study such energy harvesting CR-NOMA using amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme to improve performance far NOMA users. To further address such problem, two schemes are investigated in term of number of selected relays. To further examine system performance, the outage performance needs to be studied for such wireless powered CR-NOMA network over Rayleigh channels. The accurate expressions for the outage probability are derived to perform outage comparison of primary network and secondary network. The analytical results show clearly that position of these nodes, transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR) and power allocation coefficients result in varying outage performance. As main observation, performance gap between primary and secondary destination is decided by both power allocation factors and selection mode of single relay or multiple relays. Numerical studies were conducted to verify our derivations.Web of Science1211art. no. 220
Optimal time sharing in underlay cognitive radio systems with RF energy harvesting
Due to the fundamental tradeoffs, achieving spectrum efficiency and energy
efficiency are two contending design challenges for the future wireless
networks. However, applying radio-frequency (RF) energy harvesting (EH) in a
cognitive radio system could potentially circumvent this tradeoff, resulting in
a secondary system with limitless power supply and meaningful achievable
information rates. This paper proposes an online solution for the optimal time
allocation (time sharing) between the EH phase and the information transmission
(IT) phase in an underlay cognitive radio system, which harvests the RF energy
originating from the primary system. The proposed online solution maximizes the
average achievable rate of the cognitive radio system, subject to the
-percentile protection criteria for the primary system. The
optimal time sharing achieves significant gains compared to equal time
allocation between the EH and IT phases.Comment: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE International Conference on
