Performance Analysis of Cooperative Underlay Spectrum Sharing System in Co-channel Interference Limited Environment

Abstract

In this paper, performance analysis of an asynchronous distributed space time block coded system with optimum combining at the cognitive radio receiver (CR-Rx) has been done in a cooperative underlay cognitive Internet of Things network under the influence of multiple co-channel primary users (PUs) interferers. The transmit power strategy being employed at the CR-Tx considers the PIP (peak interference power) at the PU-Rx and peak transmit power constraints at the CR-Tx, respectively. We have derived the probability density function of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at the destination for the proposed system. The system is numerically and mathematically analyzed in terms of average post processed SIR (APPSIR), ergodic capacity ($${\text{C}}_{\text{erg}}$$), average bit error rate (ABER) and outage probability. All the numerical outcomes are in corroboration with its simulation counterpart.
