Abstract:

Various cognitive network technologies are developed rapidly. In the article, the power and spectrum allocation in multi-hop cognitive radio network (CRN) with linear topology is investigated. The overall goal is to minimize outage probability and promote spectrum utility, including total reward and fairness, while meeting the limits of total transmit power and interference threshold to primary user simultaneously. The problem is solved with convex optimization and artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm jointly. Simulation shows that the proposed scheme not only minimizes outage probability, but also realizes a better use of spectrum.
