Optimal wideband mixed access strategy algorithm in cognitive radio networks

摘要

In cognitive radio networks, spectrum sensing and access scheme affects the system performance. In this paper, a new wideband mixed access scheme is proposed, in which the Secondary Users (SUs) sense the channels via wideband spectrum sensing, and access them with a mixed access strategy. In order to maximize the ergodic throughput of SUs, we find optimal sensing time and transmission power of each channel, while protecting the Primary Users (PUs) from interference. It is shown that the optimization problem can be formulated as a convex problem. Moreover, we present a QoS-aware low complexity scheme, in which the SUs select several specific channels to sense. An effective sensing channels selection criterion is proposed. Numerical results show that the proposed schemes can effectively improve the system performance.
