Effective capacity and interference constraints in multichannel cognitive radio network

In this paper, the performance of multichannel transmission in cognitive radio is studied. Both QoS constraints and interference limitations are considered. The activities of the primary user (PU) are initially detected by cognitive user (CU) who performs sensing process over multiple channels. The CU transmits over a single channel at variable power and rates depending on the channel sensing decision and the fading environment. The cognitive operation is modeled as a state transition model in which all possible scenarios are studied. The QoS constraint of the cognitive user is investigated through statistical analysis. Analytical form for the effective capacity of the cognitive radio channel is found. Optimal power allocation and optimal channel selection criterion are obtained. Impact of several parameters on the transmission performance, as channel sensing parameters, number of available channels, fading and others, is demonstrated through numerical example.
