Cognitive radios hold tremendous promise for increasing spectral efficiency in wireless systems. This paper surveys the fundamental capacity limits and associated transmission techniques for different wireless network design paradigms based on this promising technology. These paradigms are unified by the definition of a cognitive radio as an intelligent wireless communication device that exploits side information about its environment to improve spectrum utilization. This side information typically comprises knowledge about the activity, channels, codebooks and/or messages of other nodes with which the cognitive node shares the spectrum. Based on the nature of the available side information as well as a priori rules about spectrum usage, cognitive radio systems seek to underlay, overlay or interweave the cognitive radios ’ signals with the transmissions of noncognitive nodes. We provide a comprehensive summary of the known capacity characterizations in terms of upper and lower bounds for each of these three approaches. The increase in system degrees of freedom obtained through cognitive radios is also illuminated. This information theoretic survey provides guidelines for the spectral efficiency gains possible through cognitive radios, as well as practical design ideas to mitigate the coexistence challenges in today’s crowded spectrum.

This paper considers spectrum sharing for wireless communication between a cognitive radio (CR) link and a primary radio (PR) link. It is assumed that the CR protects the PR transmission by applying the so-called interference-temperature constraint, whereby the CR is allowed to transmit regardless of the PR’s on/off status provided that the resultant interference power level at the PR receiver is kept below some predefined threshold. For the fading PR and CR channels, the interference-power constraint at the PR receiver is usually one of the following two types: One is to regulate the average interference power (AIP) over all the fading states, while the other is to limit the peak interference power (PIP) at each fading state. From the CR’s perspective, given the same average and peak power threshold, the AIP constraint is more favorable than the PIP counterpart because of its more flexibility for dynamically allocating transmit powers over the fading states. On the contrary, from the perspective of protecting the PR, the more restrictive PIP constraint appears at a first glance to be a better option than the AIP. Some surprisingly, this paper shows that in terms of various forms of capacity limits achievable for the PR fading channel, e.g., the ergodic and outage capacities, the AIP constraint is also superior over the PIP. This result is based upon an interesting interference diversity phenomenon, i.e., randomized interference powers over the fading states in the AIP case are more advantageous over deterministic ones in the PIP case for minimizing the resultant PR capacity losses. Therefore, the AIP constraint results in larger fading channel capacities than the PIP for both the CR and PR transmissions.

Abstract—In this letter, we propose multi-antenna based spec-trum sensing methods for cognitive radios (CRs) using the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) paradigm. The proposed methods utilize the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix of the received signal vector from multiple antennas, taking advantage of the fact that in practice, the primary user signals to be detected will either occupy a subspace of dimension strictly smaller than the dimension of the observation space, or have a non-white spatial spectrum. These methods do not require prior knowledge of the primary user signals, or the channels from the primary users to the CR. By making different assumptions on the availability of the white noise power value at the CR receiver, we derive two algorithms that are shown to outperform the standard energy detector. Index Terms—Antenna array, blind detection, cognitive radio, generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), spectrum sensing. I.

Abstract—Secondary spectrum usage has the potential to considerably increase spectrum utilization. In this paper, quality-of-service (QoS)-aware spectrum underlay of a secondary multicast network is considered. A multiantenna secondary access point (AP) is used for multicast (common information) transmission to a number of secondary single-antenna receivers. The idea is that beamforming can be used to steer power towards the secondary receivers while limiting sidelobes that cause interference to primary receivers. Various optimal formulations of beamforming are proposed, motivated by different “cohabitation ” scenarios, including robust designs that are applicable with inaccurate or limited channel state information at the secondary AP. These formulations are NP-hard computational problems; yet it is shown how convex approximation-based multicast beamforming tools (originally developed without regard to primary interference constraints) can be adapted to work in a spectrum underlay context. Extensive simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches and provide insights on the tradeoffs between different design criteria. Index Terms—Beamforming, multicasting, secondary spectrum usage, semidefinite programming (SDP). I.

Abstract—Maximization of the weighted sum-rate of secondary users (SUs) possibly equipped with multiantenna transmitters and receivers is considered in the context of cognitive radio (CR) net-works with coexisting primary users (PUs). The total interference power received at the primary receiver is constrained to main-tain reliable communication for the PU. An interference channel configuration is considered for ad hoc networking, where the re-ceivers treat the interference from undesired transmitters as noise. Without the CR constraint, a convergent distributed algorithm is developed to obtain (at least) a locally optimal solution. With the CR constraint, a semidistributed algorithm is introduced. An al-ternative centralized algorithm based on geometric programming and network duality is also developed. Numerical results show the efficacy of the proposed algorithms. The novel approach is flexible to accommodate modifications aiming at interference alignment. However, the stand-alone weighted sum-rate optimal schemes pro-posed here have merits over interference-alignment alternatives es-pecially for practical SNR values. Index Terms—Ad hoc network, cognitive radio, interference net-work, MIMO, optimization. I.

Owing to the structure of the Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channel (BC), associated optimization problems such as capacity region computation and beamforming optimization are typically non-convex, and cannot be solved directly. One feasible approach to these problems is to transform them into their dual multiple access channel (MAC) problems, which are easier to deal with due to their convexity properties. The conventional BC-MAC duality is established via BC-MAC signal transformation, and has been successfully applied to solve beamforming optimization, signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) balancing, and capacity region computation. However, this conventional duality approach is applicable only to the case, in which the base station (BS) of the BC is subject to a single sum power constraint. An alternative approach is minimax duality, established by Yu in the framework of Lagrange duality, which can be applied to solve the per-antenna power constraint problem. This paper extends the conventional BC-MAC duality to the general linear constraint case, and thereby establishes a general BC-MAC duality. This new duality is applied to
