Enhanced Spectrum Sharing and Cognitive Radio Using Asynchronous Primary and Secondary Users
Abstract
We show that timing mismatch between the primary and the secondary users results in improving the cognitive radio networks (CRNs) performance. We perform oversampling to exploit the advantages of asynchrony in CRNs. We design detectors for asynchronous transmission to boost the signal received by the primary user in the selfless overlay CRN paradigm. Accordingly, more power is conserved for the secondary user transmission without the performance of the primary user or spectrum license holder being degraded. Simulation results present a green CRN with an almost 6-dB power gain compared with the current CRN frameworks.
