“…Since and are assumed to be independent random variables, then Z and Y are also statistically independent. Hence, similar to the steps given for the non‐cooperative spectrum sharing system considered in [35, 36], in the case of a cooperative AF‐relaying spectrum‐sharing system, the CDF of defined in (1), can be obtained from where is given in (6) and . In addition, the expressions for and are given in (6) and (7), respectively.…”
