Abstract

In this paper, a challenge issue ‘sensing and data transmission trade-off’ is addressed. Different from existing efforts, penalty is taken as a rule of regulation for spectrum sensing and access in order to possibly protect primary’s activity. Specifically, secondary user needs to pay rental fee to primary user for opportunistic access. However, penalty will be charged from secondary user as well if it has transmitted on the miss estimated spectrum, in which, an negative secondary raw utility will be generated when the penalty value is properly decided. Thus the scheme will further force secondary user to improve its sensing accuracy and select the best transmission strategy when compared with conventional sensing access model. Based on the scheme, in this research, the bounds for proper rental and penalty prices are derived. Further, within both proper prices region, an optimization problem for setting sensing duration and transmission power is formulated. Through investigation, convexity of the problem is hard to be obtained at global view. But thanks to the special property that the problem is local convex when fixing any one of targeted variables, a Lagrange method based iterative algorithm is presented to find solution within a decent convergence of no more than 10 iterations.

Notes

  1. In this research work, we assume the inventory of channels is sufficient and sensing access of each channel is independent. Based on this, for the ease of analysis, the case as one primary owner and one secondary renter with a single licensed channel is employed as a typical example.

  2. Assuming there exists a common channel between coordinator and secondary user for information interaction.
