Power Minimization in Dual-Hop Underlay Cooperative Cognitive Radio Relay Networks for Optimal Resource Allocation

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a multi-user one-way dual-hop multi-relay cognitive radio underlay spectrum sharing network. .The joint optimal resource allocation of the bandwidth and power allocation in underlay Cooperative Cognitive Radio Relay Network (CCRRN) was studied and a convex optimization analytical framework is presented. A combined optimal power and bandwidth allocation (COPBA) scheme for the minimization of the total network power and blocking probability of the call admission control stage of the CCRRN is investigated. Our goal is to jointly optimize the bandwidth and power allocation such that the total transmission power in the CCRRN is minimized without compromising the Quality of Service (QoS) demands of the secondary users (SUs) and the interference constraint thresholds of the primary users (PUs) in the primary networks. The mathematical model and convex optimization problem with the aim of minimizing the total transmission power of the CCRRN was formulated. The resulting optimization problem was solved in the standard computer based numerical optimization solver package CONOPT in MATLAB/TOMLAB environment. Simulation results obtained is compared the equal-bandwidth optimal power allocation scheme.
