Abstract
Introducing collaborative relay and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) techniques into a cognitive wireless network, named the SWIPT-enabled cognitive relay network (CRN), is considered a promising approach to deal with insufficiency and the low utilization of spectrum resources, as well as the node's energy-constrained issues in wireless networks. In this paper, to improve the network spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) of the SWIPT-enabled CRN, we design an energy-efficient adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy. To be specific, we first select an energy-constrained best relay node with the consideration of signal-to-noise ratio and global channel gain to achieve a better bidirectional relay transmission (BRT). At the same time, we let the energy-constrained best relay node transmit a signal with the SWIPT technique, which can solve the node's energy-constrained issue and improve the network EE. Then, with the selected energy-constrained best relay node, we design a total transmit power threshold (TTPT) determining algorithm to find the TTPT, which lets the total transmission rate of the BRT be equal to the bidirectional direct transmission (BDT). Based on this TTPT, we further design an adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy and let the network achieve adaptive transmission between the BRT and BDT to obtain a higher network SE. Furthermore, to further achieve the energy-efficient transmission of the adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy, we optimize the nodes' power under the requirement of primary users' interference threshold and obtain the analytical expressions of the optimal power. Simulation results show that the transmission rate, the outage probability, and the EE of the designed energy-efficient adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy in the SWIPT-enabled CRN are, respectively, 3.01, 0.07, and 3.10 times that of the non-collaborative transmission, which show the effectiveness of our designed transmission strategy.
