A cognitive radio network (CRN) is formed by either allowing the secondary users (SUs) in a secondary communication network (SCN) to opportunistically operate in the frequency bands originally… (More)
In this paper, we establish the capacity region of a class of deterministic interference channels with common information. For such a class of channels, each sender needs to transmit not only the… (More)
In this correspondence, a simplified description of the Han-Kobayashi rate region for the general interference channel is derived. Using this result, we establish the equivalence between the… (More)
In this paper, a new spectrum-sharing model called sensing-based spectrum sharing is proposed for cognitive radio networks. This model consists of two phases: In the first phase, the secondary user… (More)
In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio (CR) network where a secondary (cognitive) user shares the spectrum for transmission with a primary (non-cognitive) user over block-fading (BF) channels.… (More)
We analyze the performance of a two hop channel state information (CSI)-assisted amplify-and-forward system, with co-channel interference at the relay. The system's outage probability and the average… (More)
We consider the two-user “Z” channel (ZC), where there are two senders and two receivers. One of the senders transmits information to its intended receiver (without interfering with the unintended… (More)
This paper considers a spectrum underlay network, where an OFDM-based cognitive radio (CR) system is allowed to share the subcarriers of an OFDMA-based primary system for simultaneous transmission.… (More)
In this paper, we investigate the distributed power allocation strategies for a spectrum-sharing femtocell network, where a central macrocell underlaid with several femtocells. Assuming that the… (More)
This paper investigates the impact of using outdated channel estimates for relay selection and signal amplification on the performance of amplify-and-forward (AF) relays under partial relay selection… (More)
