Cooperative anti-interference spectrum sharing with secondary user selection

In this paper, we propose a cooperative anti-interference spectrum sharing strategy with secondary user selection where the secondary system can gain spectrum access along with the primary system. Specifically, secondary user STband STqare selected to transmit the primary and secondary signal through different bandwidth in the second transmission slot which occupies 1-tb fraction of the time. Thus, the primary and secondary systems will not interfere with each other. We study the joint optimization of time and bandwidth allocation such that the transmission rate of the secondary system is maximized, while guaranteeing the primary system to achieve its target rate. Simulation results confirm efficiency of the proposed spectrum sharing strategy, and the significant performance improvement of the cognitive system.
