Abstract
In this work, we introduce a new spectrum leasing based cognitive radio for OFDM-based primary/secondary networks. More precisely, we propose a new leasing scheme both in time and frequency domains in a network composed of a primary transmission and some secondary (cognitive) users forming a cooperative relay network. In the proposed scheme, the primary user decides to lease a part of its available resources (time and frequency) to a selected set of relays, with the aim of increasing its link reliability. The selected relays use a part of the leased resources for relaying the primary signal, and in counterpart, they are allowed to exploit the rest of the frame for their own data transmission. By defining appropriate cost functions, the proposed algorithm decides whether it is of advantage for the primary user to cooperate with the relay network or not. Moreover, if cooperation is advantageous for the primary network, the algorithm selects the optimal amount of the time-frequency resources (number of OFDM symbols and subcarriers) that are involved in the cooperation process. Simulation results show that by using the proposed relaying scheme, both primary and secondary (relay) networks can take advantage in terms of achievable data rates compared to classical leasing systems.
