Abstract
The real-world wireless channels are accurately modeled by the composite multipath fading and shadowing channel models. The performance of a typical cognitive spectrum sharing (SS) network under a composite fading and shadowing model is rarely analyzed, and hence, needs considerable attention. In this paper, a cognitive SS network is considered having multiantenna at the secondary/cognitive receiver (SR), and the signals received at different antennas are combined using maximal ratio combining scheme. The channels at SR are considered to be spatially correlated κ-μ shadowed distributed. The analytical expressions for the outage probability and the ergodic capacity are derived under peak interference power constraint (PIPC) of the primary receiver (PR). It is shown that the performance of the SS network degrades as the spatial correlation increases at SR. It is also observed that the severity of fading/shadowing at the interfering link is favorable to the secondary user’s communication up to a certain value of PIPC of PR.
