Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate one suboptimal power allocation scheme for an OFDM based cognitive radio system. Optical power allocation for secondary user in OFDM subcarrier is complex since it has a power as well as an interference constraint. Mathematical analysis shows that interference between primary and secondary in OFDM based system depends on theirs spectral distance. In our suboptimal method we consider the spectral distance between the secondary and primary user and modify the traditional water-filling algorithm. By applying our suboptimal power allocation method, it is possible that we can get good performance comparable to the optimal scheme. We compare our method with traditional power allocations schemes like equal power allocation and water filling power allocation. Result shows that distance dependent modified water filling (DDMWF) scheme can achieve the highest data rate for the cognitive radio based Secondary user.
