- Description
- We consider the problem of interference management and resource allocation in a cognitive radio network (CRNs) where the licensed spectrum holders (primary users) share their spare capacity with the non-licensed spectrum holders (secondary users). Under such shared spectrum usage the transmissions of the secondary users should have a minimal impact on the quality of service (QoS) and the operating conditions of the primary users. Therefore, it is important to distinguish the two types of users, and formulate the problem of resource allocation considering hard restrictions on the user-perceived QoS (such as packet end-to-end delay and loss) and physical-layer channel characteristics (such as noise and interference) of the primary users. To achieve this goal, we propose to assign the bandwidth and transmission power to minimize the total buffer occupancy in the system subject to capacity constraints, queue stability constraints, and interference requirements of the primary users. We apply this approach for resource allocation in a CRN built upon a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) long-term evolution (LTE) standard platform. Performance of the algorithm is evaluated using simulations in OPNET environment. The algorithm shows consistent performance improvement when compared with other relevant resource allocation techniques.
