Abstract
Despite the ever increasing demand for radio spectrum we are not able to achieve complete efficiency in utilizing the spectrum. The spectrum itself being restricted can only accommodate limited number of users. Therefore, it is very critical to efficiently utilize it. Cognitive radio is perceived as a crucial mechanism for improving spectral efficiency. In this paper we focus on allocating resources to secondary users (SU) which co-exist with primary user (PU) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexed based cognitive radio network. Simultaneous power and subchannel allocation for each SU is considered with the aim to maximize the total throughput or capacity of the system. We also aim to maximize the power efficiency of system and simultaneously keeping a check on total interference caused to PUs. The flexible rate demand for each SU is considered and hence categorized as real time and non real time secondary users. The problem is solved using non-dominant sorting genetic algorithm version II. The results procured are compared with existing solution and optimal solution.
