On throughput and quality of experience in cognitive radio networks

In this paper, a performance analysis for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) under the outage probability constraint of the primary user and peak transmit power constraint of the secondary user is conducted. Given an automatic repeat request protocol, analytical expressions for the packet delay and throughput of the CRN are derived. Most importantly, these expressions can be used to understand the quality of experience on web services which are assumed to be offered by the considered CRN.
