Outage Analysis for SWIPT-Enabled Two-Way Cognitive Cooperative Communications
In this paper, we study a cooperative cognitive radio network (CCRN) where
the secondary user-transmitter (SU-Tx) assists bi-directional communication
between a pair of primary users (PUs) following the principle of two-way
relaying. In return, it gets access to the spectrum of the PUs to enable its
own transmission to SU-receiver (SU-Rx). Further, in order to support
sustainable operation of the network, SU-Tx is assumed to harvest energy from
the RF signals received from the PUs, using the technique of simultaneous
wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). Assuming a decode-and-forward
behaviour and power-splitting based relaying protocol at SU-Tx, closed form
expressions for outage probability of PU and SU are obtained. Simulation
results validate our analytical results and illustrate spectrum-efficiency and
energy-efficiency advantages of the proposed system over one-way relaying.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Vehicular

Interference-Assisted Wireless Energy Harvesting in Cognitive Relay Network with Multiple Primary Transceivers
We consider a spectrum sharing scenario, where a secondary network coexists
with a primary network of multiple transceivers. The secondary network consists
of an energy-constrained decode-and-forward secondary relay which assists the
communication between a secondary transmitter and a destination in the presence
of the interference from multiple primary transmitters. The secondary relay
harvests energy from the received radio-frequency signals, which include the
information signal from the secondary transmitter and the primary interference.
The harvested energy is then used to decode the secondary information and
forward it to the secondary destination. At the relay, we adopt a time
switching policy due to its simplicity that switches between the energy
harvesting and information decoding over time. Specifically, we derive a
closed-form expression for the secondary outage probability under the primary
outage constraint and the peak power constraint at both secondary transmitter
and relay. In addition, we investigate the effect of the number of primary
transceivers on the optimal energy harvesting duration that minimizes the
secondary outage probability. By utilizing the primary interference as a useful
energy source in the energy harvesting phase, the secondary network achieves a
better outage performance.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, To be presented at IEEE GLOBECOM 201
