Outage Performance of CRNs with Best Relay Selection in Dependent Nonidentical Distributed Nakagami-m Channels

Abstract EN

The outage performance with best relay selection is proposed for cognitive relay networks with multiple primary users in independent nonidentical distributed Nakagami-m fading channels.

Specifically, we take the interference temperature and fading severity into consideration.

Exact closed-form expression of outage probability is derived.

Based on the exact closed-form expression, we can evaluate the impact of interference temperature, fading severity, number of relays, and number of primary users on the secondary network.

Finally, the effects of fading severity, number of relays, number of primary users, and interference temperature on the system performance are examined through some representative numerical plots, and the Monte Carlo results match perfectly with theory results which validates our theory analysis.
