Abstract:

A jointly optimal sensing-transmission time duration and power allocation scheme for a cooperative relay network is developed by maximizing the network energy efficiency. In particular, observing that the spectrum sensing and data transmission duration lies within a strict interval, the jointly optimal solutions of sensing-transmission duration and power allocation are obtained by sequential optimization. The superiority of the proposed scheme in relay-assisted transmission mode over non-relay transmission mode in terms of energy-efficiency has been verified by quantitative simulation results.
