Abstract

The primary user (PU) suffers interference from both in-band subcarriers and out-band subcarriers' sidelobes of secondary users (SU) in OFDM-based cognitive radio systems. An optimal power allocation scheme was developed to protect the PUs' performance while efficiently exploiting the spectrum opportunities. The scheme was obtained by solving a convex optimization problem. The effects of the subcarrier side lobe are included unlike in the iterative partitioned water-filling algorithm. Simulations show that the optimal power allocation scheme maximizes the channel capacity while satisfying the PUs' interference power constraints.
