There has been a growing demand for wireless communication services in the past few years. Recent reports reveal that the demand will not only increase in the number of subscribers but also in more diverse applications such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things. With such demand for capacity increase, there is a necessity to shift from today’s Static Frequency Allocation (SFA) to Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA). The change will make efficient use of spectrum by utilizing the unused parts in different times, frequencies and spaces. With this regard, cognitive radio (CR) is a powerful potential candidate for the spectrum scarcity problem. This work addresses the two main current discussions in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN), spectral efficiency and interference mitigation problem. There are two main spectrum sharing techniques in CRN, overlay and underlay, which have been thoroughly investigated in the literature. Unlike the relative works which separate the use of overlay and underlay, this works considers the joint overlay and underlay as a hybrid system to enhance the spectral efficiency and Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in CRNs. MC-CDMA is proposed for underlay transmission for two main advantages. Firstly, for low power spectral density due to spreading. Secondly, for its capability to mitigate high interference. Two hybrid MC-CDMA schemes are proposed in this work. The first scheme spreads the underlay signal through the whole bandwidth to mitigate PU interference and benefit from the frequency diversity. To maximize data rate, overlay utilizes the available bands while keeping orthogonality with underlay using Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes. To further increase capacity, an overload MC-CDMA system is proposed. In this scheme, overlay utilizes the full signal dimension, while underlay overloads the system. Two layered spreading is applied to differentiate overlay and underlay users. In order to detect the underlay signal, the overlay signal is detected first and is cancelled from the received signal. The underlay data is then detected from this modified signal. The framework is then extended to a multi-user underlay scenario. A code allocation algorithm is proposed in order to achieve low cross-correlation between the overlay and underlay users. The results show that the proposed overload system maintains good performance even in high PU interference level. Furthermore, the proposed hybrid capacities are optimized and compared with the two available hybrid systems in the literature. The proposed overload system showed to increase capacity significantly, both in AWGN and fading environment, in compared with the existing methods.

Recently, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have gained significant attention as a new network architecture to not only achieving unprecedented spectral and energy efficiencies, but also to alleviating propagation losses and inter-user/inter-cell interference. Therefore, massive MIMO has been identified as one of the key candidate technologies for the 5th generation wireless standard. This dissertation thus focuses on (1) developing a performance analysis framework for cognitive massive MIMO systems by investigating the uplink transmissions of multi-cell multi-user massive MIMO secondary systems, which are underlaid in multi-cell multi-user primary massive MIMO systems, with taking into consideration the detrimental effects of practical transmission impairments, (2) proposing a new wireless-powered underlay cognitive massive MIMO system model, as the secondary user nodes is empowered by the ability to efficiently harvest energy from the primary user transmissions, and then access and utilize the primary network spectrum for information transmission, and (3) developing a secure communication strategy for cognitive multi-user massive MIMO systems, where physical layer secure transmissions are provisioned for both primary and secondary systems by exploiting linear precoders and artificial noise (AN) generation in order to degrade the signal decodability at eavesdropper. The key design feature of the proposed cognitive systems is to leverage the spatial multiplexing strategies to serve a large number of spatially distributed user nodes by using very large numbers of antennas at the base-stations. Moreover, the fundamental performance metrics, the secondary transmit power constraints, which constitute the underlay secondary transmissions subject to a predefined primary interference temperature, and the achievable sum rates of the primary and secondary systems, are characterized under different antenna array configurations. Additionally, the detrimental impact of practical wireless transmission impairments on the performance of the aforementioned systems are quantified. The important insights obtained throughout these analyses can be used as benchmarks for designing practical cognitive spectrum sharing networks.

Efficiently allocating the scarce and expensive radio resources is a key challenge for advanced radio communication systems. To this end, cognitive radio (CR) has emerged as a promising solution which can offer considerable improvements in spectrum utilization. Furthermore, cooperative communication is a concept proposed to obtain spatial diversity gains through relays without requiring multiple antennas. To benefit from both CR and cooperative communications, a combination of CR networks (CRNs) with cooperative relaying referred to as cognitive cooperative relay networks (CCRNs) has recently been proposed. CCRNs can better utilize the radio spectrum by allowing the secondary users (SUs) to opportunistically access spectrum, share spectrum with primary users (PUs), and provide performance gains offered by cooperative relaying. In this thesis, a performance analysis of underlay CRNs and CCRNs in different fading channels is provided based on analytical expressions, numerical results, and simulations. To allocate power in the CCRNs, power allocation policies are proposed which consider the peak transmit power limit of the SUs and the outage probability constraint of the primary network. Thus, the impact of multiuser diversity, peak transmit power, fading parameters, and modulation schemes on the performance of the CRNs and CCRNs can be analyzed. The thesis is divided into an introduction and five research parts based on peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles. The introduction provides fundamental background on spectrum sharing systems, fading channels, and performance metrics. In the first part, a basic underlay CRN is analyzed where the outage probability and the ergodic capacity of the network over general fading channels is derived. In the second part, the outage probability and the ergodic capacity of an underlay CRN are assessed capturing the effect of multiuser diversity on the network subject to Nakagami-m fading. Considering the presence of a PU transmitter (PU-Tx), a power allocation policy is derived and utilized for CRN performance analysis under Rayleigh fading. In the third part, the impact of multiple PU-Txs and multiple PU receivers (PU-Rxs) on the outage probability of an underlay CCRN is studied. The outage constraint at the PU-Rx and the peak transmit power constraint of the SUs are taken into account to derive the power allocation policies for the SUs. In the fourth part, analytical expressions for the outage probability and symbol error probability for CCRNs are derived where signal combining schemes at the SU receiver (SU-Rx) are compared. Finally, the fifth part applies a sleep/wake-up strategy and the min(N; T) policy to an underlay CRN. The SUs of the network operate as wireless sensor nodes under Nakagami-m fading. A power consumption function of the CRN is derived. Further, the impact of M/G/1 queue and fading channel parameters on the power consumption is assessed.

To support the rapidly increasing number of mobile users and mobile multimedia services, and the related demands for bandwidth, wireless communication technology is facing a potentially scarcity of radio spectrum resources. However, spectrum measurement campaigns have shown that the shortage of radio spectrum is due to inefficient usage and inflexible spectrum allocation policies. Thus, to be able to meet the requirements of bandwidth and spectrum utilization, spectrum underlay access, one of the techniques in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), has been proposed as a frontier solution to deal with this problem. In a spectrum underlay network, the secondary user (SU) is allowed to simultaneously access the licensed frequency band of the primary user (PU) as long as the interference caused by the SU to the PU is kept below a predefined threshold. By doing so, the spectrum utilization can be improved significantly. Moreover, the spectrum underlay network is not only considered as the least sophisticated in implementation, but also can operate in dense areas where the number of temporal spectrum holes is small. Inspired by the above discussion, this thesis provides a performance analysis of spectrum underlay networks which are subject to interference constraints. The thesis is divided into an introduction part and five parts based on peer-reviewed international research publications. The introduction part provides the reader with an overview and background on CRNs. The first part investigates the performance of secondary networks in terms of outage probability and ergodic capacity subject to the joint outage constraint of the PU and the peak transmit power constraint of the SU. The second part evaluates the performance of CRNs with a buffered relay. Subject to the timeout probability constraint of the PU and the peak transmit power constraint of the SU, system performance in terms of end-to-end throughput, end-to-end transmission time, and stable transmission condition for the relay buffer is studied. The third part analyzes a cognitive cooperative radio network under the peak interference power constraint of multiple PUs with best relay selection. The obtained results readily reveal insights into the impact of the number of PUs, channel mean powers of the communication and interference links on the system performance. The fourth part studies the delay performance of CRNs under the peak interference power constraint of multiple PUs for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications. A closedform expression for outage probability and an analytical expression for the average waiting time of packets are obtained for point-to-point communications. Moreover, the outage probability and successful transmission probability for packets in point-to-multipoint communications are presented. Finally, the fifth part presents work on the performance analysis of a spectrum underlay network for a general fading channel. A lower bound on the packet timeout probability and the average number of transmissions per packet are obtained for the secondary network.

The cognitive radio network (CRN) concept has been proposed as a solution to the growing demand and underutilization of the radio spectrum. To improve the radio spectrum utilization, CRN technology allows the coexistence of licensed and unlicensed systems over the same spectrum. In an underlay spectrum sharing system, secondary users (SUs) transmit simultaneously with the primary users (PUs) in the same frequency band given that the interference caused by the SU to the PU remains below a tolerable interference limit. Besides the transmission power limitation, a secondary network is subject to distinct channel impairments such as fading and interference from the primary transmissions. Also, CRNs face new security threats and challenges due to their unique cognitive characteristics.This thesis analyzes the performance of underlay CRNs and underlay cognitive relay networks under spectrum sharing constraints and security constraints. Distinct SU transmit power policies are obtained considering various interference constraints such as PU outage constraint or PU peak interference power constraint. The thesis is divided into an introduction and two research parts based on peer-reviewed publications. The introduction provides an overview of radio spectrum management, basic concepts of CRNs, and physical layer security. In the first research part, we study the performance of underlay CRNs with emphasis on a multiuser environment.In Part I-A, we consider a secondary network with delay-tolerant applications and analyze the ergodic capacity. Part I-B analyzes the secondary outage capacity which characterises the maximum data rate that can be achieved over a channel for a given outage probability. In Part I-C, we consider a secondary network with delay constrained applications, and derive expressions of the outage probability and delay-limited throughput. Part I-D presents a queueing model that provides an analytical tool to evaluate the secondary packet-level performance with multiple classes of traffic considering general interarrival and service time distributions. Analytical expressions of the SU average packet transmission time, waiting time in the queue, andtime spent in the system are provided.In the second research part, we analyze the physical layer security for underlay CRNs and underlay cognitive relay networks. Analytical expressions of the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability are derived.Part II-A considers a single hop underlay CRN in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers (EAVs) and multiple SU-Rxs. In Part II-B, an underlay cognitive relay network in the presence of multiple secondary relays and multiple EAVs is studied.Numerical examples illustrate that it is possible to exploit the physical layer characteristics to achieve both security and quality of service in CRNs while satisfying spectrum sharing constraints.

Due to the rapid development of wireless communications together with the inflexibility of the current spectrum allocation policy, radio spectrum becomes more and more exhausted. One of the critical challenges of wireless communication systems is to efficiently utilize the limited frequency resources to be able to support the growing demand of high data rate wireless services. As a promising solution, cognitive radios have been suggested to deal with the scarcity and under-utilization of radio spectrum. The basic idea behind cognitive radios is to allow unlicensed users, also called secondary users (SUs), to access the licensed spectrum of primary users (PUs) which improves spectrum utilization. In order to not degrade the performance of the primary networks, SUs have to deploy interference control, interference mitigating, or interference avoidance techniques to minimize the interference incurred at the PUs. Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have stimulated a variety of studies on improving spectrum utilization. In this context, this thesis has two main objectives. Firstly, it investigates the performance of single hop CRNs with spectrum sharing and opportunistic spectrum access. Secondly, the thesis analyzes the performance improvements of two hop cognitive radio networks when incorporating advanced radio transmission techniques. The thesis is divided into three parts consisting of an introduction part and two research parts based on peer-reviewed publications. Fundamental background on radio propagation channels, cognitive radios, and advanced radio transmission techniques are discussed in the introduction. In the first research part, the performance of single hop CRNs is analyzed. Specifically, underlay spectrum access using M/G/1/K queueing approaches is presented in Part I-A while dynamic spectrum access with prioritized traffics is studied in Part I-B. In the second research part, the performance benefits of integrating advanced radio transmission techniques into cognitive cooperative radio networks (CCRNs) are investigated. In particular, opportunistic spectrum access for amplify-and-forward CCRNs is presented in Part II-A where collaborative spectrum sensing is deployed among the SUs to enhance the accuracy of spectrum sensing. In Part II-B, the effect of channel estimation error and feedback delay on the outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) of multiple-input multiple-output CCRNs is investigated. In Part II-C, adaptive modulation and coding is employed for decode-and-forward CCRNs to improve the spectrum efficiency and to avoid buffer overflow at the relay. Finally, a hybrid interweave-underlay spectrum access scheme for a CCRN is proposed in Part II-D. In this work, the dynamic spectrum access of the PUs and SUs is modeled as a Markov chain which then is utilized to evaluate the outage probability, SER, and outage capacity of the CCRN.

In the literature, Cognitive radio (CR) as well as full-duplex (FD) communication technologies are proposed to increase the spectrum efficiency. The main contribution of this thesis is to introduce prediction and estimation techniques with low control overhead, and use the predicted or estimated information in resource allocation in CR networks, both in the overlay networks and the underlay networks. Prediction and estimation are important in increasing the data rate and keeping the interference at a low level. In the overlay scheme, I modeled the primary user (PU) traffic characteristics of the channels using the Probabilistic Suffix Tree (PST) algorithm. Then using this PST algorithm, I introduced a frequency hopping based control channel and derived its theoretical properties. Then I proposed two methods for selecting a channel set for transmission, which took into account both the PU channel usage statistics and, secondary user (SU) channel usage statistics as perceived by an SU of interest. The first scheme selected channels having the highest probability of successful transmission, while the second calculated a net reward using a marked Markov chain. Then using simulations, I showed that our scheme caused acceptable interference to the PUs and has better throughput performance, compared to a scheme selecting channels randomly. Then I proposed two joint channel assignment and power allocation schemes for a bi-directional FD underlay CR network with network assistance. The first scheme used the information on the number of total SU pairs present in the network. In the second scheme, I used least squares based estimation and Kalman filtering to estimate the interference at the monitoring stations using the local interference. It reduced the control overhead of keeping track of active SUs. In both of these schemes each SU pair decided on the channels to be used in the half-duplex mode and the full-duplex mode using local information. This joint optimization was done running channel assignment and power allocation algorithms alternatively. In the power allocation problem, I used a technique called monotonic optimization. After simulating both of these schemes I showed that the scheme based on estimation performs satisfactorily given that it has less control overhead.

With the rapid development and the increasing use of wireless devices, spectrum scarcity has become a problem. The higher frequencies have bad propagation characteristics and the lower frequencies have low data rates, therefore the radio spectrum that is available for efficient wireless transmission is a limited resource. One of the proposed solutions for this problem is cognitive relay networks (CRNs), where cognitive radio is combined with a cooperative spectrum sharing system to increase the spectrum utilization. In this thesis, the outage probability performances of underlay CRNs with interference power constraints from the primary network over Weibull fading channels have been investigated for three different scenarios. The maximum transmit power of the secondary network is governed by the maximum interference power that the primary network's receiver can tolerate. The first scenario is a cognitive dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relay network over independent non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Weibull fading channels. In the second scenario, the CRN consists of a DF relay plus the direct link transmission with a selection combining receiver at the destination over i.n.i.d. Weibull fading channels. The third CRN considered has multiple DF relays where the best relay selection scheme is employed over independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) Weibull fading channels. The analytical results have been derived using the statistical characteristics of end-to-end signal-to-noise ratios, and have been verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

We investigate spectral-efficient design and develop novel schemes to improve spectral efficiency of the modern wireless communications networks. Nowadays, more and more spectrum resources are required to support various high-data-rate applications while spectrum resources are limited. Moreover, static allocation and exclusive access in current spectrum assignment policy caused a lot of licensed spectrum bands to be underutilized. To deal with the problem, cognitive radio (CR) has been developed, which allows unlicensed/secondary users to transmit with licensed/primary users as long as the former ones do not generate intolerable interference to the latter ones. The coexistence of users and networks requires careful and dynamic planning to mitigate interference. Otherwise, the network performance will be severely undermined. We study both spectrum sensing and spectrum access techniques and propose several transmit schemes for different types of cognitive ratio networks, including spectrum overlay and spectrum underlay systems. The proposed algorithms can improve spectral efficiency of the networks efficiently and have potentials to be used in future wireless communications networks.

A dissertation submitted in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering (MSc. Eng.) in the School of Electrical and Information Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, 2020
The unique structure of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), a candidate for multiple access techniques for fifth-generation mobile networks, poses formidable design challenges when the number of users in the network rises. Fifth generation networks, however, demand hyper connected societies with phenomenal number of users. In a multi-channel NOMA system with a large number of users, the literature has shown that the best performance is achieved if no more than three users share a channel. Most research typically allocates two users to a channel. One of the key issues then is user pairing, which must be done in order to maximize the network capacity. A number of user pairing schemes have been derived in the literature, but these have been done mostly for non-cognitive radio networks. A need for user pairing schemes in cognitive networks has therefore risen. Developed schemes need to take into account a plethora of complications such as energy consumption and an increase in interference raised in the cognitive environment. The main focus of this dissertation is to mathematically model a framework to optimize power allocation and user pairing in a cognitive NOMA network. In particular, we determine various power allocation schemes that can cope with the severe energy constraints of an underlay cognitive network and employ these schemes for use indifferent user pairing schemes. First, we employ an underlay random pairing algorithm and an underlay channel state sorting pairing algorithm, for use in a large-scale network. Because of the low complexity of these algorithms, we use their performance to study and compare with other pairing algorithms. Then we propose a near-optimal preference list matching algorithm (PLMA) based on matching theory to perform user pairing. Performance evaluation of the proposed schemes is presented through simulations. Results show how that the preference list matching algorithm effectively outperforms other pairing algorithms and can also perform better that the Hungarian algorithm

Characterizing the topology and therefore fundamental limit is a must to establish effective cognitive radio networking (CRN). However, there lacks complete understanding of the relationship among connectivity, interference, latency and other system parameters of the underlay CRN. To clarify this complication, by employing tools from both percolation theory and stochastic geometry, we provide a novel parametrization of underlay secondary ad hoc CRN wherein the secondary network is regarded as an operating point in the phase space in both cases with and without outage constraints on secondary links. Coexisting with a primary ad hoc network, the secondary network undergoes a phase transition due to avoiding interference to primary receivers, while being interfered by primary transmitters. Furthermore, transmit power allocation of secondary users is represented by a Pareto contour in the phase space, and the impact of interference on connectivity is captured by the latency-to-percolate. Based on this proposed framework, we develop and analyze many applications on underlay secondary network, such as benefits of importing avoidance regions, self-motivated cooperation scheme, delay minimizing routing, and data dissemination with epidemic broadcasting so that CRNs can successfully operate.

In this thesis, we consider cognitive radio networks (CRN) combined with cooperative transmission, and investigate relay selection and power allocation strategies to maximize network lifetime (NLT). Cognitive radio network enhances spectrum efficiency resource by exploiting capabilities of cognition, learning and coordination against insufficient spectrum resource. In underlay cognitive radio network, however, transmitted energy of secondary user is constrained by interference level observed at primary user (PU). Though cooperation among secondary users (SU), multiple relays from virtual antenna array to improve transmission rate and reliability by exploiting spatial diversity. Most existing works assume that cooperative secondary users are plugged and with infinite energy device. In this thesis, we consider secondary cooperative systems where relays are battery-powered and with finite energy. We will investigate relay-selection schemes to reduce energy consumption of secondary relays and prolong network lifetime under the premises that secondary user’s transmission rate is guaranteed and interference constraint of primary user is met. Our major difference between this work and previous works is the definition of network lifetime, which is defined by the maximum duration that the probability of secondary user’s achievable rate below the guaranteed value, i.e. outage probability, is lower than a predetermined threshold. We proposed four relay-selection methods which take channel state information (CSI) and residual energy information (REI) into considerations to prolong network lifetime. Since the selection metrics of the proposed strategies requires CSI and REI of each individual relay, so the relay-selection can be accomplished in distributed manner through opportunistic sensing. No additional overhead is demanded for information exchange.

Streszczenie:

In underlay cognitive radio networks, secondary users can share the spectrum with primary users as long as the interference caused by the secondary users to primary users is below a certain predetermined threshold. It is reasonable to assume that there is always a large pool of secondary users trying to access the channel, which can be occupied by only one secondary user at a given time. As a result, a multi-user scheduling problem arises among the secondary users. In this thesis, by manipulating basic schemes based on selective multi-user diversity, normalized thresholding, transmission power control, and opportunistic round robin, we propose and analyze eight scheduling schemes of secondary users in an underlay cognitive radio set-up. The system performance of these schemes is quantified by using various performance metrics such as the average system capacity, normalized average feedback load, scheduling outage probability, and system fairness of access. In our proposed schemes, the best user out of all the secondary users in the system is picked to transmit at each given time slot in order to maximize the average system capacity. Two thresholds are used in the two rounds of the selection process to determine the best user. The first threshold is raised by the power constraint from the primary user. The second threshold, which can be adjusted by us, is introduced to reduce the feedback load. The overall system performance is therefore dependent on the choice of these two thresholds and the number of users in the system given the channel conditions for all the users. In this thesis, by deriving analytical formulas and presenting numerical examples, we try to provide insights of the relationship between the performance metrics and the involved parameters including two selection thresholds and the number of active users in the system, in an effort to maximize the average system capacity as well as satisfy the requirements of scheduling outage probability and feedback load.

Streszczenie:

Relay-assisted cooperative communication exploits spatial diversity to combat wireless fading, and is an appealing technology for next generation wireless systems. Several relay cooperation protocols have been proposed in the literature. In amplify-and-forward (AF)relaying, which is the focus of this thesis, the relay amplifies the signal it receives from the source and forwards it to the destination. AF has been extensively studied in the literature on account of its simplicity since the relay does not need to decode the received signal. We propose a novel optimal relaying policy for two-hop AF cooperative relay systems. In this, an average power-constrained relay adapts its gain and transmit power to minimize the fading-averaged symbol error probability (SEP) at the destination. Next, we consider a generalization of the above policy in which the relay operates as an underlay cognitive radio (CR). This mode of communication is relevant because it promises to address the spectrum shortage constraint. Here, the relay adapts its gain as a function of its local channel gain to the source and destination and also the primary such that the average interference it causes to the primary receiver is also constrained. For both the above policies, we also present near-optimal, simpler relay gain adaptation policies that are easy to implement and that provide insights about the optimal policies. The SEPs and diversity order of the policies are analyzed to quantify their performance. These policies generalize the conventional fixed-power and fixed-gain AF relaying policies considered in cooperative and CR literature, and outperform them by 2.0-7.7 dB. This translates into significant energy savings at the source and relay, and motivates their use in next generation wireless systems.

In this thesis, we consider joint beamforming, power, and channel allocation in a multi-user and multi-channel underlay cognitive radio network (CRN). In this system, beamforming is implemented at each SU-TX to minimize the co-channel interference. The formulated joint optimization problem is a non-convex, mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem. We propose a solution which consists of two stages. At first, given a channel allocation, a feasible solutions for power and beamforming vectors are derived by converting the problem into a convex form with an introduced optimal auxiliary variable and semidefinite relaxation (SDR) approach. Next, two explicit searching algorithms, i.e., genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA)-based algorithm are proposed to determine optimal channel allocations. Simulation results show that beamforming, power and channel allocation with SA (BPCA-SA) algorithm achieves a close optimal sum-rate with a lower computational complexity compared with beamforming, power and channel allocation with GA (BPCA-GA) algorithm. Furthermore, our proposed allocation scheme shows significant improvement than zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF).

In this paper, we study a spectrum sharing based cognitive radio network (CRN) where $N$ secondary users (SUs) share the same spectrum with a primary user (PU) over block fading channels. We assume complete perfect channel state information (CSI) at the secondary transmitters while only local instantaneous CSI is assumed at the primary transmitter. The PU is assumed to adopt an ON-OFF power control policy and convey this one-bit side information to all secondary transmitters. Based on these assumptions, we investigate the optimal probabilistic power allocation that seeks to maximize the system utilities for SUs subject to the primary interference power constraint, the secondary rate outage constraints and the average power constraints. The probabilistic power allocation problem was first reformulated as a deterministic power allocation problem through defining a set of weighting variables based on the conditional probability and conditional mean of the probabilistic power random variables. The resulting optimization problem, however, is still non-convex in general. To handle the non-convex constraints, we applied a conservative convex first-order approximation technique. Furthermore, by the successive convex approximation (SCA), we proposed an algorithm that provides high-quality approximate solutions via solving a sequence of convex approximation problems. Our theoretical analysis further demonstrated that the limit point generated by our proposed SCA algorithm is indeed a stationary point of the original optimization problem. To further reduce complexity, a decentralized version of the SCA algorithm was proposed, where only a limited amount of information exchange between the secondary transmitters is required. The convergence analysis was also provided for the decentralized counterpart. Extensive simulations validated our analyses and demonstrated that near-optimal performance is indeed achieved by both our proposed algorithms.

Streszczenie:

Simultaneous operation of different wireless applications in the same geographical region and the same frequency band gives rise to undesired interference issues. Since licensed (primary) applications have been granted priority access to the frequency spectrum, unlicensed (secondary) services should avoid imposing interference on the primary system. In other words, secondary system’s activity in the same bands should be in a controlled fashion so that the primary system maintains its quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this thesis, we consider collocated point-to-multipoint primary and secondary networks that have simultaneous access to the same frequency band. Particularly, we examine three different levels at which the two networks may coexist: pure interference, asymmetric co-existence, and symmetric co-existence levels. At the pure interference level, both networks operate simultaneously regardless of their interference to each other. At the other two levels, at least one of the networks attempts to mitigate its interference to the other network by deactivating some of its users. Specifically, at the asymmetric co-existence level, the secondary network selectively deactivates its users based on knowledge of the interference and channel gains, whereas at the symmetric level, the primary network also schedules its users in the same way. Our aim is to derive optimal sum-rates (i.e., throughputs) of both networks at each co-existence level as the number of users grows asymptotically and evaluate how the sum-rates scale with the network size. In order to find the asymptotic throughput results, we derive two propositions; one on the asymptotic behaviour of the largest order statistic and one on the asymptotic behaviour of the sum of lower order statistics. As a baseline comparison, we calculate primary and secondary sum-rates for the time division (TD) channel sharing. Then, we compare the asymptotic secondary sum-rate in TD to that under simultaneous channel sharing, while ensuring the primary network maintains the same sum-rate in both cases. Our results indicate that simultaneous channel sharing at both asymmetric and symmetric co-existence levels can outperform TD. Furthermore, this enhancement is achievable when user scheduling in uplink mode is based only on the interference gains to the opposite network and not on a network’s own channel gains. In other words, the optimal secondary sum-rate is achievable by applying a scheduling strategy, referred to as the least interference strategy, for which only the knowledge of interference gains is required and can be performed in a distributed way.

Streszczenie:

This thesis proposes and analyzes data fusion algorithms that operate on the physical layer of a wireless sensor network, in the context of three applications of cognitive radios: 1. Cooperative spectrum sensing via binary consensus; 2. Multiple transmitter localization and communication footprint identification; 3.Target self-localization using beacon nodes. For the first application, a co-phasing based data combining scheme is studied under imperfect channel knowledge. The evolution of network consensus state is modeled as a Markov chain, and the average transition probability matrix is derived. Using this, the average hitting time and average consensus duration are obtained, which are used to determine and optimize the performance of the consensus procedure. Second, using the fact that a typical communication footprint map admits a sparse representation, two novel compressed sensing based schemes are proposed to construct the map using 1-bit decisions from sensors deployed in a geographical area. The number of transmitters is determined using the K-means algorithm and a circular fitting technique, and a design procedure is proposed to determine the power thresholds for signal detection at sensors. Third, an algorithm is proposed for self-localization of a target node using power measurements from beacon nodes transmitting from known locations. The geographical area is overlaid with a virtual grid, and the problem is treated as one of testing overlapping subsets of grid cells for the presence of the target node. The column matching algorithm from group testing literature is considered for devising the target localization algorithm. The average probability of localizing the target within a grid cell is derived using the tools from Poisson point processes and order statistics. This quantity is used to determine the minimum required node density to localize the target within a grid cell with high probability. The performance of all the proposed algorithms is illustrated through Monte Carlo simulations.

Streszczenie:

This thesis focuses on the modeling, analysis and design of future wireless networks with smart devices, i.e., devices with intelligence and ability to communicate with one another with/without the control of base stations (BSs). Using stochastic geometry, we develop realistic yet tractable frameworks to model and analyze the performance of such networks, while incorporating the intelligence features of smart devices. In the first half of the thesis, we develop stochastic geometry tools to study arbitrarily shaped network regions. Current techniques in the literature assume the network regions to be infinite, while practical network regions tend to be arbitrary. Two well-known networks are considered, where devices have the ability to: (i) communicate with others without the control of BSs (i.e., ad-hoc networks), and (ii) opportunistically access spectrum (i.e., cognitive networks). First, we propose a general algorithm to derive the distribution of the distance between the reference node and a random node inside an arbitrarily shaped ad-hoc network region, which helps to compute the outage probability. We then study the impact of boundary effects and show that the outage probability in infinite regions may not be a meaningful bound for arbitrarily shaped regions. By extending the developed techniques, we further analyze the performance of underlay cognitive networks, where different secondary users (SUs) activity protocols are employed to limit the interference at a primary user. Leveraging the information exchange among SUs, we propose a cooperation-based protocol. We show that, in the short-term sensing scenario, this protocol improves the network's performance compared to the existing threshold-based protocol. In the second half of the thesis, we study two recently emerged networks, where devices have the ability to: (i) communicate directly with nearby devices under the control of BSs (i.e., device-to-device (D2D) communication), and (ii) harvest radio frequency energy (i.e., energy harvesting networks). We first analyze the intra-cell interference in a finite cellular region underlaid with D2D communication, by incorporating a mode selection scheme to reduce the interference. We derive the outage probability at the BS and a D2D receiver, and propose a spectrum reuse ratio metric to assess the overall D2D communication performance. We demonstrate that, without impairing the performance at the BS, if the path-loss exponent on cellular link is slightly lower than that on D2D link, the spectrum reuse ratio can have negligible decrease while the average number of successful D2D transmissions increases with the increasing D2D node density. This indicates that an increasing level of D2D communication is beneficial in future networks. Then we study an ad-hoc network with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in an infinite region, where transmitters are wirelessly charged by power beacons. We formulate the total outage probability in terms of the power and channel outage probabilities. The former incorporates a power activation threshold at transmitters, which is a key practical factor that has been largely ignored in previous work. We show that, although increasing power beacon's density or transmit power is not always beneficial for channel outage probability, it improves the overall network performance.
