Opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) is a key technique enabling the secondary users (SUs) in a cognitive radio (CR) network to transmit over the "spectrum holes" unoccupied by the primary users (PUs). In this paper, we focus on the OSA…
This paper considers a spectrum sharing based cognitive radio (CR) communication system, which consists of a secondary user (SU) having multiple transmit antennas and a single receive antenna and a primary user (PU) having a single receive…
Powerful spectrum sensing schemes enable cognitive radios (CRs) to find transmission opportunities in spectral resources allocated exclusively to the primary users. In this paper, maximizing the average throughput of a secondary user by…
In this paper, we consider a cognitive scenario where an energy harvesting secondary user (SU) shares the spectrum with a primary user (PU). The secondary source helps the primary source in delivering its undelivered packets during periods…

Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) provides effective capabilities for resource allocation with the valuable spectrum resources in the network. It provides the effective allocation of resources to the unlicensed users or Secondary Users (SUs) to…
In this paper, we investigate spectrum-power trading between a small cell (SC) and a macro cell (MC), where the SC consumes power to serve the macro cell users (MUs) in exchange for some bandwidth from the MC. Our goal is to maximize the…
We investigate power allocation for users in a spectrum underlay cognitive network. Our objective is to find a power control scheme that allocates transmit power for both primary and secondary users so that the overall network throughput is…
In this letter, we analyze the problem of detecting spectrum holes in cognitive radio systems. We consider that a group of unlicensed users can sense the radio signal energy, perform some simple processing and transmit the result to a…
Cognitive relaying has been introduced for opportunistic spectrum access systems by which a secondary node forwards primary packets whenever the primary link faces an outage condition. For spectrum sharing systems, cognitive relaying is…
