Analysis of Network Path Selection Based on Outage Probability in Cognitive Relay Networks

This paper evaluates the outage performance of cognitive relay networks with mutual interference between secondary users and primary users under the underlay approach, while adhering to the interference constraint on the primary user. A network path selection criterion, suitable for cognitive relay networks, is provided, from which we derive the outage probability expression of cognitive relay networks. It is shown that the outage probability considering the interference to secondary user from primary user is higher than that without considering the interference to secondary user from primary user. In addition, the outage probability is affected by key network parameters. We analyze network path selection method based on outage probability and prove that the interference to secondary user from primary user has a significant effect on the network path selection and can not be ignored in practical wireless communication environments. Simulation investigation is also provided and used to verify the theoretical analysis.
