Channel Selection for Spectrum Sharing in Wireless Networks

In this paper, we study a spectrum sharing network (SSN) where a spectrum sharing device (SSD) coexists with multiple wireless communication systems (WCSs) in the same channel. The SSD can operate with either a duty cycle (DC) channel access mechanism or a listen‐before‐talk (LBT) channel access mechanism, whereas WCSs operate with an LBT mechanism. An opportunistic channel selection scheme for the SSD in the SSN is first proposed to minimize the outage probability. The optimal data transmission time for the DC‐based SSD is derived to further improve the outage probability. We also derive the exact and closed‐form outage probability of the proposed channel selection in the SSN by assuming that the number of WCSs operating in each channel is uniformly distributed. The simulation results show that the proposed channel selection scheme outperforms other channel selection schemes. It was also observed that a DC‐based SSD with an optimal data transmission time provides a better outage performance than an LBT‐based SSD. As the number of available channels increases, the channel selection scheme plays an important role in minimizing the outage probability of the SSNs.     

Performance analysis of Alamouti scheme with transmit antenna selection in non‐identical Nakagami‐m fading channels

In this paper, error performances of multiple‐input multiple‐output systems that employ Alamouti‐coded transmission with transmit antenna selection are examined for binary phase‐shift keying, binary frequency‐shift keying, M‐ary phase‐shift keying, and M‐ary quadrature amplitude‐modulation signals in independent but non‐identically distributed flat Nakagami‐m fading channels. Exact symbol error rate expressions are derived by using the moment‐generating function‐based analysis method. Upper bound expressions have been obtained in order to examine the asymptotic diversity order of transmit antenna selection/Alamouti scheme. Also, outage probability analysis of investigated systems has been given in order to examine the system capacity. Monte Carlo simulations have validated the analytical symbol error rate performance results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Transmit antenna selection of correlated MIMO multiuser cognitive radio networks in Nakagami‐m fading channels

In this paper, we examine the impact of antenna correlation on transmit antenna selection with receive maximal ratio combining (TAS/MRC) in multiple‐input multiple‐output multiuser underlay cognitive radio network (MIMO‐MCN) over a Nakagami‐m fading environment. The secondary network under consideration consists of a single source and M destinations equipped with multiple correlated antennas at each node. The primary network composed of L primary users, each of which is equipped with multiple correlated antennas. For the considered underlay spectrum sharing paradigm, the transmission power of the proposed secondary system is limited by the peak interference limit on the primary network and the maximum transmission power at the secondary network. In particular, we derive exact closed‐form expressions for the outage probability and average symbol error rate of the proposed secondary system. To gain further insights, simple asymptotic closed‐form expressions for the outage probability and symbol error rate are provided to obtain the achievable diversity order and coding gain of the system. In addition, the impact of antenna correlation on the secondary user ergodic capacity has been investigated by deriving closed‐form expressions for the secondary user capacity. The derived analytical formulas herein are supported by numerical and simulation results to clarify the main contributions. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Performance analysis of MIMO systems with multiuser diversity

In this paper, we present a comprehensive performance analysis for multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) systems with multiuser diversity over Rayleigh fading channels. We derive exact closed‐form expressions of the outage probability and the average bit error rate (BER) for different MIMO schemes, including the selective combining (SC), maximum ratio combining (MRC) and space‐time block codes (STBC). We also provide the explicit upper bounds on the BER performance. Finally, the mathematical formalism is verified by numeric results that study the interaction between the antenna diversity and the multiuser diversity. It is observed that the system performance is deteriorated as the number of transmit antennas increases in multiuser scenario, which is unlike the case in single‐user systems.

Secure AF relaying with efficient partial relay selection scheme

This paper evaluates the secrecy performance for the amplify‐and‐forward (AF) protocol with partial relay selection (PRS) schemes in the scenario of multiple independent but not necessarily identically distributed eavesdroppers. The secrecy performances of the first‐hop and second‐hop PRS schemes are revisited. Given the secrecy data rate, an efficient PRS scheme is presented, which selects the relay based on the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) of either the first or second hop according to the statistical CSI of two hops. The proposed PRS scheme provides the trade‐off between the two‐hop and one‐hop PRS criteria. Results show that the secrecy outage probability (SOP) performance of the proposed scheme is close to that of the conventional opportunistic relaying in the medium main‐to‐eavesdropper ratio (MER) regions. As for the intercept probability, the second‐hop scheme achieves the highest diversity order among PRS schemes and its performance depends on the overall eavesdroppers' behavior not on individual effects of the specific relay. The proposed criterion also outperforms the first‐hop PRS scheme. Simulation results finally substantiate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis.     

Cognitive radio CDMA networking with spectrum sensing

In this paper, the performance of cognitive radio (CR) code division multiple access (CDMA) systems is analyzed. More precisely, CR users belong to a cognitive radio network (CRN), which coexists with a primary radio network (PRN). Both CRN and PRN are CDMA‐based, with colocated base stations. Soft hand off and power control are considered in both the CRN and the PRN. Upon the development of an accurate simulator for a representative three‐cell cellular scenario, we evaluate the performance of the proposed CR system in terms of outage probability, blocking probability and average data rate of secondary users. Three different spectrum sensing techniques are. Two new schemes, based on interference limit, are proposed and compared with an existing adaptive spectrum sensing scheme. Spectrum activity measurements and spectrum sharing decisions have been considered for evaluating the performance of the three schemes. The paper proposes a new CR‐CDMA networking model and a simulation testbed for evaluating performances of secondary users and primary users in terms of outage, blocking, BER and average data rate in the presence of soft hand‐off and power control. For comparison purposes, the analysis in the absence of spectrum sensing is also investigated.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Performance analysis of cooperative spectrum sharing using non‐orthogonal multiple access

This paper presents a cooperative spectrum sharing protocol using non‐orthogonal multiple access in cognitive radio networks. A 2‐phase protocol comprising of a primary transmitter‐receiver pair and a secondary transmitter‐receiver pair is considered. In the proposed protocol, 3 data symbols can be transmitted during the 2 phases; this is unlike the traditional decode‐and‐forward relaying where 1 data symbol can be transmitted and the conventional superposition coding–based overlay spectrum sharing and the cooperative relaying system using non‐orthogonal multiple access where 2 data symbols can be transmitted, under a single‐relay scenario. We have investigated performance of our proposed protocol in terms of ergodic sum capacity and outage probability along with analytical derivations over independent Rayleigh fading channels. We also compared our proposed protocol with the traditional decode‐and‐forward relaying, conventional superposition coding–based overlay spectrum sharing, and the cooperative relaying system using non‐orthogonal multiple access schemes to demonstrate efficacy of the proposed protocol. The simulation and analytical results are presented to confirm efficiency of the proposed spectrum sharing protocol.     

Interference management schemes for multi‐user cooperative wireless networks

Cooperative communication is a promising technique for future wireless networks. It can be used in improving communication reliability and enhancing spectrum efficiency by using the broadcast nature of radio communication and exploiting cooperative diversity. However, its performance gain degrades in the presence of co‐channel interference, which makes it essential to propose interference mitigation schemes. In this paper, we introduce three cooperative communication schemes with interference management for multi‐user cooperative wireless networks. The first scheme (best relay selection) is used as a performance benchmark because it completely avoids the interference problem by using the Frequency‐Division Multiple Access technique. The second scheme (best available relay selection) maximizes the received signal‐to‐noise ratio while keeping the interference levels below a certain threshold, and the third scheme (General Order Relay and User Selection) is based on iterative resource allocation algorithm. We derive exact closed‐form expressions of average bit error probability, outage probability, and average consumed power for the proposed schemes. Simulations are used to validate the analytical results. The results confirm the advantage of the proposed cooperation schemes in enhancing the system performance and improving the interference management. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Investigation on outage capacity of spectrum sharing system using CSI and SSI under received power constraints

In this paper, we have investigated the outage capacity of secondary user for opportunistic spectrum sharing under the joint peak and average received power constraints for Rayleigh fading environment. Under this communication scenario, on detecting the licensed primary user inactive, the secondary unlicensed users transmit data/information in the licensed frequency band such that no or minimum interference may be experienced by the primary user. The soft sensing information (SSI) and secondary user’s channel state information is used to obtain the closed form expressions for the ergodic and outage capacity using truncated channel inversion with fixed rate technique under the joint peak and average received power constraints. Numerically simulated results are provided to demonstrate the improvement in outage capacity of secondary user under the proposed spectrum sharing scheme. Moreover, the proposed scheme is also compared with other conventional spectrum sharing schemes to illustrate the benefits of SSI and received power constraints on the outage capacity of secondary user.

     

Outage analysis of selection diversity over Rayleigh fading channels with multiple co-channel interferers

In this paper an approach to the performance analysis of signal-to-interference (SIR) based selection combining (SC) operating over the Rayleigh fading channels experiencing an arbitrary number of multiple, Rayleigh co-channel interferers is presented. We have presented a general analysis of multibranch SC where each branch experiences an arbitrary number of multiple equal power co-channel interferers. Useful closed form expressions are derived for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) at the output of the combiner. Also an outage analysis is performed in order to show the effects of the number of multiple interferers, diversity order and input SIR unbalance to the system performances.     

Performance analysis of hybrid transmit antenna selection/maximal‐ratio transmission in Nakagami‐m fading channels

Hybrid diversity systems have been of great importance because they provide better diversity orders and robustness to the fading effects of wireless communication systems. This paper focuses on the performance analysis of multiple‐input gle‐output systems that employ combined transmit antenna selection (TAS)/maximal‐ratio transmission (MRT) techniques (i.e., hybrid TAS/MRT). The probability density function, the moment generating function and the n ^th order moments of the output signal‐to‐noise ratio of the investigated diversity scheme are derived for independent identically distributed flat Nakagami‐m fading channels. The system capacity of the hybrid TAS/MRT scheme is examined from the outage probability perspective. Exact bit/symbol error rate (BER/SER) expressions for binary frequency shift keying, M‐ary phase shift keying and square M‐ary quadrature amplitude modulation signals are derived by using the moment generating function‐based analysis method. By deriving the upper bounds for BER/SER expressions, it is also shown that the investigated systems achieve full diversity orders at high signal‐to‐noise ratios. Also, by Monte Carlo simulations, analytical performance results are validated and the effect of feedback delay, channel estimation error and feedback quantization error on BER/SER performances are examined.

Fundamental Limits of Full-Duplex Spectrum Sharing Under Peak Interference Power Constraint

Cognitive radio (CR) and full-duplex (FD) have received extensive attention and research due to their high spectrum efficiency, which can effectively solve the problem of low spectrum efficiency in current communication systems. Based on CR and FD techniques, in this paper, a FD spectrum sharing CR networks is considered, in which both secondary users (SU1 and SU2) are each equipped with dual antennas, one antenna is used to transmit signals, and the other antenna is used to receive signals at the same time and frequency. Under peak interference power and peak transmit power constraints, we analysis the ergodic sum capacity and the outage probability based on the FD spectrum sharing CR networks and the conventional spectrum sharing CR networks. Furthermore, under no peak transmit power constrain and perfect self-interference cancellation (SIC), based on the FD spectrum sharing CR networks and the conventional spectrum sharing CR networks, the closed-form expressions of the theoretical performance upper bound of the ergodic sum capacity and the outage probability are derived by two lemmas and four propositions. Accurate mathematical analysis display, under the same bandwidth, the upper bound of ergodic sum capacity for the full-duplex spectrum sharing CR networks is twice as much as the traditional spectrum sharing CR networks, and the FD spectrum sharing CR networks based on SU1, also has better performance upper bound on the outage probability than the traditional spectrum sharing CR networks. Simulations results also validate that, the FD spectrum sharing CR networks obtains better communication performance than the conventional spectrum sharing CR networks, especially when the mean of self-interference channel power gain is small. Finally, we also can see that the simulation performance upper bound is completely consistent with the theoretical analysis performance upper bound, whether in the FD spectrum sharing CR networks or the conventional spectrum sharing CR networks. So also verifies the correctness of the theoretical performance upper bound derivation.

Cross‐Layer Resource Allocation Scheme for WLANs with Multipacket Reception

Tailored for wireless local area networks, the present paper proposes a cross‐layer resource allocation scheme for multiple‐input multiple‐output orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing systems. Our cross‐layer resource allocation scheme consists of three stages. Firstly, the condition of sharing the subchannel by more than one user is studied. Secondly, the subchannel allocation policy which depends on the data packets’ lengths and the admissible combination of users per subchannel is proposed. Finally, the bits and corresponding power are allocated to users based on a greedy algorithm and the data packets’ lengths. The analysis and simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme not only achieves significant improvement in system throughput and average packet delay compared with conventional schemes but also has low computational complexity.     

Performance of Primary Users in Spectrum Sharing Cognitive Radio Environment

This paper investigates the performance of the primary user in a multiuser cognitive radio environment. Using spectrum sharing method, multiple cognitive users compete to share a channel dedicated to the primary user in order to transmit their data to a common receiver unit. Only one cognitive user is scheduled to share the channel, and to do so, its transmit power should not increase the primary user’s outage probability above a certain limit. The average bit error rate and the average channel capacity of the primary user are derived in this setup for different cognitive scheduling schemes. The performance measures of the primary user are found to depend on the cognitive user’s scheduling criterion and on the parameters of the communication environment.
