Abstract
We consider a cognitive radio network in which a set of base stations make opportunistic unlicensed spectrum access to transmit data to their subscribers. As the spectrum of interest is licensed to another (primary) network, power and channel allocation must be carried out within the cognitive radio network so that no excessive interference is caused to any primary user. We are interested in spectrum-allocation/power-control schemes that maximize the spectrum utilization of the cognitive network while appropriately protecting primary users. While doing so, the control schemes must also meet the required signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of each subscriber of the cognitive network. This problem can be formulated as a linear mixed (0-1) integer programming. Due to the high complexity in obtaining optimal spectrum-allocation/power-control schemes, we propose a suboptimal scheme that can be obtained at lower complexity while still achieving good spectrum utilization. This suboptimal scheme is constructed based on the idea of a dynamic interference graph that captures the interfering effects. Numerical studies of our control scheme are presented.Keywords
