Primary and secondary QoS-guaranteed cooperative spectrum sharing with optimal power allocation

In this paper, a cooperative spectrum sharing protocol with quality-of-service (QoS) support for both of the primary and secondary systems is proposed. Specifically, the secondary system gains primary spectrum access by allocating a fraction of its power to forward the primary signal helping the primary system achieve the target rate, and meanwhile exploits the remaining power to transmit its own signal. We analyze the achievable rates for the primary and secondary systems, and determine the optimal power allocation such that the sum transmission rate of primary and secondary systems is maximized, while the QoS of both primary and secondary systems can be guaranteed. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed spectrum sharing protocol and its benefit to both primary and secondary systems.
