Green cognitive radios are promising in future wireless communications due to high energy efficiency. Energy efficiency maximization problems are formulated in delay-insensitive green cognitive radio and delay-sensitive green cognitive radio. The optimal resource allocation strategies for delay-insensitive green cognitive radio and delay-sensitive green cognitive radio are designed to maximize the energy efficiency of the secondary user. The peak interference power and the average/peak transmit power constraints are considered. Two algorithms based on the proposed resource allocation strategies are proposed to solve the formulated problems. Simulation results show that the maximum energy efficiency of the secondary user achieved under the average transmit power constraint is higher than that achieved under the peak transmit power constraint. It is shown that the design of green cognitive radio should take the tradeoff between its complexity and its achievable maximum energy efficiency into consideration.

Security is considered a critical issue in the deployment of 5G networks because of the vulnerability of information that can be intercepted by eavesdroppers in wireless transmission environments. Thus, physical layer security has emerged as an alternative for the secure enabling of 5G technologies and for tackling this security issue. In this paper, we study the secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) in a downlink underlying cognitive radio (CR)—non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with a cooperative relay. The system has an energy-harvesting (EH) user and an eavesdropper, where the transmitter provides direct communication with a close secondary user and a distant secondary user via the relay. Our objective is to maximize the SEE of the CR-NOMA system under the constraints of a minimum information rate for the secondary users, a minimum amount of energy harvested by the EH user, and maximum power availability at the transmitter and the relay that still prevents them from causing unacceptable interference with the primary user. The proposed solution to maximize the SEE is based on the low-computational—complexity particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. For validation purposes, we compare the optimization outcomes obtained by the PSO algorithm with the optimal exhaustive search method. Furthermore, we compare the performance of our proposed CR-NOMA scheme with the conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) scheme.

Abstract How to achieve energy-efficient transmission in radio frequency energy harvesting cognitive radio network (RF-CRN) is of great importance when nodes in CRN are self-maintained. This paper presents a radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting hardware-based underlay cognitive radio network (RH-CRN) structure, where a secondary transmitter (ST) first harvests energy from RF signals source originating from the primary network, and then communicates with a secondary receiver (SR) in underlay mode by using the harvested energy. The total consumed energy by the secondary user (SU) must be equal to or less than the total harvested energy referred to as energy causality constraint, In addition, the ST possesses some initial energy which may be the residual energy from the former transmission blocks, and we consider the energy loss of energy harvesting circuit as a systematic factor as well. Our goal is to achieve the maximum energy efficiency (EE) of the secondary network by jointly optimizing transmitting time and power. To guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of secondary transceiver, a minimum requirement of throughput constraint is imposed on the ST in the process of EE maximization. As the EE maximization is a nonlinear fractional programming problem, a quick iterative algorithm based on Dinkelbach’s method is proposed to achieve the optimal resource allocation. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy has fast convergence and can improve the system EE greatly while ensuring the QoS.

Device-to-device (D2D) communication is developed as a new paradigm to enhance net- work performance according to LTE and WiMAX advanced standards. On the other hand, cognitive radio (CR) approach provides efficient spectral usage using intelligent wireless nodes. In this thesis, a number of optimal resource allocation strategies for D2D communi- cation networks are investigated using the CR approach. As a first step, the CR approach in radio access networks is introduced. In the second step, the taxonomy of the RA process in CRNs is provided. For radio resource allocation (RRA), the most crucial task is to associate a user with a particular serving base station, to assign the channel and to allocate the power efficiently. In this thesis, a subcarrier assignment scheme and a power allocation algorithm using geometric water-filling (GWF) is presented for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based CRNs. This algorithm is proved to maximize the sum rate of secondary users by allocating power more efficiently. Then, the RA problem is studied to jointly employ CR technology and D2D communication in cellular networks in terms of spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE). In the first case, in terms of SE, a two-stage approach is considered to allocate the radio resource efficiently where a new adaptive subcarrier allocation (ASA) scheme is designed first and then a novel power allocation (PA) scheme is developed utilizing proven GWF approach that can compute exact solution with less computation. In the second case, in terms of EE, the power allocation problem of cellular networks that co-exist with D2D communication considering both underlay and overlay CR approaches are investigated. A proven power allocation algorithm based on GWF approach is utilized to solve the EE maximization problem which results in an “exact" and “low complexity" solution.
