Abstract

In an opportunistic spectrum access based cognitive radio network, the secondary user (SU) does not transmit when the primary user (PU) is detected to be present. If the SU detects that the PU is inactive during a sensing period, it is usually assumed that the SU will transmit its data at peak power in the following data transmission frame. However, when the PU is detected to be inactive, the PU may not definitely be inactive as it may be a case of miss-detection. If it is a miss-detection, the SU's data rate for that particular data frame will be reduced due to interference from the PU. In this paper, power allocation strategies are designed for each data frame based on the spectrum sensing information (SSI) gathered during the sensing period. Using the SSI, the miss-detection probability for a data frame is taken into consideration to maximize the average data rate and minimize the outage probability of the SU while ensuring that the probability of detecting the PU is above a targeted threshold and the SU satisfies the long-term transmit power budget. Our simulation results showed that the transmit power of the SU should indeed be a function of the SSI in order to maximize the average data rate and minimize the outage probability.
