Underlay Cognitive Radio with Full or Partial Channel Quality Information
Underlay cognitive radios (UCRs) allow a secondary user to enter a primary
user's spectrum through intelligent utilization of multiuser channel quality
information (CQI) and sharing of codebook. The aim of this work is to study
two-user Gaussian UCR systems by assuming the full or partial knowledge of
multiuser CQI. Key contribution of this work is motivated by the fact that the
full knowledge of multiuser CQI is not always available. We first establish a
location-aided UCR model where the secondary user is assumed to have partial
CQI about the secondary-transmitter to primary-receiver link as well as full
CQI about the other links. Then, new UCR approaches are proposed and carefully
analyzed in terms of the secondary user's achievable rate, denoted by ,
the capacity penalty to primary user, denoted by , and capacity
outage probability. Numerical examples are provided to visually compare the
performance of UCRs with full knowledge of multiuser CQI and the proposed
approaches with partial knowledge of multiuser CQI.Comment: 29 Pages, 8 figure
On Discrete Alphabets for the Two-user Gaussian Interference Channel with One Receiver Lacking Knowledge of the Interfering Codebook
In multi-user information theory it is often assumed that every node in the
network possesses all codebooks used in the network. This assumption is however
impractical in distributed ad-hoc and cognitive networks. This work considers
the two- user Gaussian Interference Channel with one Oblivious Receiver
(G-IC-OR), i.e., one receiver lacks knowledge of the interfering cookbook while
the other receiver knows both codebooks. We ask whether, and if so how much,
the channel capacity of the G-IC- OR is reduced compared to that of the
classical G-IC where both receivers know all codebooks. Intuitively, the
oblivious receiver should not be able to jointly decode its intended message
along with the unintended interfering message whose codebook is unavailable. We
demonstrate that in strong and very strong interference, where joint decoding
is capacity achieving for the classical G-IC, lack of codebook knowledge does
not reduce performance in terms of generalized degrees of freedom (gDoF).
Moreover, we show that the sum-capacity of the symmetric G-IC- OR is to within
O(log(log(SNR))) of that of the classical G-IC. The key novelty of the proposed
achievable scheme is the use of a discrete input alphabet for the non-oblivious
transmitter, whose cardinality is appropriately chosen as a function of SNR
