In OFDM-based cognitive radio systems, the interference power limits of the primary users (PUs) introduce subchannel transmit power constraints for the secondary user (SU). The power allocation among the subcarriers of SU should be subject to both the sum transmit power constraint as well as the transmit power constraint of each subchannel. Different from previous works, we deal with a more general case where the subcarrier sidelobes are specially considered. A general power allocation algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal solution that maximizes the capacity while satisfying both the sum and subchannel transmit power constraints.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
