Joint Spectral Shaping and Power Control in Spectrum Overlay Cognitive Radio Systems

In this paper we consider orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based cognitive radio systems that operate as secondary users (SUs) in a spectrum overlay approach and study joint spectral shaping and power control subject to specified target signal-to-interference+noise ratio (SINR) as a constrained optimization problem. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for the optimal solution of this problem where the spectrum overlay constraints are satisfied and the specified target SINR value is achieved with minimum transmit power. We also present an algorithm that incrementally adapts the OFDM transmitter to reach the optimal solution and study the convergence speed of the proposed algorithm through simulations.
