AbstractIn this paper, we consider a cognitive radio network scenario, where two primary users want to exchange information with each other and meanwhile, one secondary node wishes to send messages to a cognitive base station. To meet the target quality of service (QoS) of the primary users and raise the communication opportunity of the secondary nodes, a cognitive bidirectional relaying (BDR) scheme is examined. First, system outage probabilities of conventional direct transmission and BDR schemes are presented. Next, a new system parameter called operating region is defined and calculated, which indicates in which position a secondary node can be a cognitive relay to assist the primary users. Then, a cognitive BDR scheme is proposed, giving a transmission protocol along with a time-slot splitting algorithm between the primary and secondary transmissions. Information-theoretic metric of ergodic capacity is studied for the cognitive BDR scheme to evaluate its performance. Simulation results show that with the proposed scheme, the target QoS of the primary users can be guaranteed, while increasing the communication opportunity for the secondary nodes.
