- Abstract
Cognitive radio (CR) can improve the usage of spectrum resources, although the secondary users (SUs) will cause interference. Interference alignment (IA) is a prospective technique that can manage the interference effectively and has been applied to CR networks. However, interference can be used as an energy source by wireless energy harvesting techniques. In this paper, we consider an underlay CR network consisting of a primary user (PU) and SUs that are either energy harvesting users or information transmission users. The normal IA scheme neglects the priority of the PU, which leads to poor performance, particularly at low signal noise ratio (SNR) values. Three transceiver designs are proposed to improve the information rate of the PU and these benefit from the existence of energy harvesting users, by aligning the interference created by those energy harvesting users at information transmission users. Simulation results are presented to show the proposed designs can significantly improve the performance especially in low SNR situations.
