Abstract
This study investigates sensing-based spectrum sharing access (SSSA) and sensing-based spectrum opportunistic access (SSOA) schemes in cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based cognitive radio networks with imperfect spectrum sensing. The optimal resource allocation strategy, including sensing time and transmit power, is designed to maximise the ergodic throughput of the secondary system. For a two-hop cooperative communication in the secondary system, the authors adopt the amplify-and-forward relay protocol and enable the source and relay to sense the state of the primary user jointly. To protect the PU effectively from harmful interference, they consider the average interference power constraint in each hop. The total average transmit power constraint of the source and relay is considered. Two simplified versions for the SSSA and SSOA schemes are employed because of the complexity of the problem. They then propose two algorithms that acquire the optimal sensing time and power allocation for both schemes. Finally, simulation results are presented to compare the performance of the two schemes.
