Abstract
Interference alignment (IA) is an effective method that can eliminate interferences in wireless networks, and has been applied to spectrum sharing in cognitive radio (CR) networks recently. However, the availability of perfect network channel state information (CSI) is necessary for most existing IA schemes, which is not practical in general due to the realistic communication scenarios and deployment challenges. In this paper, we apply IA to cognitive relay networks under CSI mismatch where the variance of the CSI measurement error depends on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). An adaptive Max-SINR IA algorithm has been introduced to improve the performance of the secondary network by using the knowledge of CSI error variance. Finally, we analyze the performance of the secondary network in terms of the end-to-end equivalent transmission rate and outage probability. Simulation results indicate that our proposed adaptive Max-SINR IA scheme can greatly improve the performance of the secondary network.
