On the achievable rate regions for a class of cognitive radio channels: Interference channel with degraded message sets with unidirectional destination cooperation
This paper considers the capacity gains due to unidirectional destination cooperation in cognitive radio channels. We propose a novel channel, interference channel with degraded message sets with unidirectional destination cooperation (IC-DMS-UDC), to allow the receiver of cognitive radio (secondary user) to participate in relaying the information for primary system (legitimate user). Our main result is the development of an achievable rate region which combines Gel'fand-Pinkser coding with partial-decode-and-forward strategy employed in the relay channel. A numerical evaluation of the region in the Gaussian case is also provided to demonstrate the improvements.
