본 논문에서는 인지무선통신에서 중요한 기술 중 하나인 스펙트럼 센싱의 Hidden node의 문제나 셀룰라 시스템에서 셀 경계에서 CPE(Customer Premises equipments)의 낮은 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)로 인한 센싱 성능 저하를 해결하기 위해 CPE들의 협력 릴레이 기법을 사용한 협력 스펙트럼 센싱을 제안하고 검출확률 성능을 분석한다. 송신단과 수신단 사이의 릴레이(Relay) 적용된 협력 스펙트럼 센싱은 가상의 공간 다이버시티이득(Spatial Diversity Gain)을 얻을 수 있어 센싱 성능이 향상된다. 협력 통신 기법 중 다중안테나를 적용한 AF(Amplify and Forward) 고정형 중계기를 사용하여 다이버시티이득을 얻는 시스템 모델을 제안하고, 검출 성능 향상을 분석한다.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of power allocation in a heterogeneous network that is composed of a pair of cognitive users (CUs) and an infrastructure-based primary network. Since CUs have only limited effective spectrum-sensing ability and primary users (PUs) are not active all the time in all locations and licensed bands, we set up a new multi-area model to characterize the heterogeneous network. A novel combined interference-avoidance policy corresponding to different PU-appearance situations is introduced to protect the primary network from unacceptable disturbance and to increase the spectrum secondary-reuse efficiency. We use dual decomposition to transform the original power allocation problem into a two-layer optimization problem. We propose a low-complexity joint power-optimizing method to maximize the transmission rate between CUs, taking into account both the individual power-transmission constraints and the combined interference power constraint of the PUs. Numerical results show that for various values of the system parameters, the proposed joint optimization method with combined PU protection is significantly better than the opportunistic spectrum access mode and other heuristic approaches.
