Performance Analysis of Energy Harvesting Underlay Cooperative Cognitive Radio Relay Networks with Randomly Located Nodes
share
In this work, we investigate the successful data communication probability of an energy harvesting co-operative cognitive radio network (CRN) in the presence of Poisson field of primary users (PU). We consider the scenario where, after harvesting energy from primary transmitters (PTs), the secondary transmitter (ST) would transmit its symbol towards secondary destination (SD) through a suitable secondary relay from group of randomly scattered idle nodes within a circular region. We have considered several relay selection criteria in our work for a better relay node selection. We have also analytically evaluated the performance of secondary transmitter in terms of probability of successful symbol transmission. The relationship between the performance of ST and several network entities like density of PUs, transmit power of PTs and required transmit power of ST have been investigated through detailed analysis. The non-trivial trade-off between benefit of energy harvesting and interference from PTs has been explored in this present work. Numerical results are provided to verify the precision of derived analytical expressions.
