Abstract

In this paper, the impact of interference from multiple licensed transceivers on cognitive underlay single-carrier systems is examined. Specifically, the situation is considered in which the secondary network is limited by three key parameters: 1) maximum transmit power at the secondary transmitter, 2) peak interference power at the primary receivers, and 3) interference power from the primary transmitters. For this cognitive underlay single-carrier system, the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of the secondary network is obtained for transmission over frequency-selective fading channels. Based on this, a new closed-form expression for the cumulative distribution function of the SIR is evaluated, from which the outage probability and the ergodic capacity are derived. Further insights are established by analyzing the asymptotic outage probability and the asymptotic ergodic capacity in the high-transmission-power regime. In particular, it is corroborated that the asymptotic outage diversity gain is equal to the multipath gain of the frequency-selective channel in the secondary network. The asymptotic ergodic capacity also gives new insight into the additional power cost for different network parameters while maintaining a specified target ergodic capacity. Illustrative numerical examples are presented to validate the outage probability and ergodic capacity under different interference power profiles.
