Abstract
In multi-antenna cognitive radio (CR), the sensing performance of detecting the presence of primary user (PU) in fading channel can be improved through multi-antenna cooperative spectrum sensing. However, the CR may consume more stored energy due to the cooperative spectrum sensing and thus decrease its transmission performance. In this paper, to guarantee the transmission performance, a simultaneous cooperative spectrum sensing and wireless power transfer (SCSSWPT) scheme has been proposed, which can harvest the radio frequency (RF) energy of the PU signal to supply the consumed energy of spectrum sensing. Time splitting model, power splitting and antenna splitting model are proposed to implement cooperative spectrum sensing, energy harvesting and data transmission simultaneously. Three optimization problems have been formulated to maximize spectrum efficiency of the CR in the three SCSSWPT models, respectively, subject to the constraints of detection probability and harvested energy. The simulation results have shown that there is an optimal number of sensing antennas to maximize the spectrum efficiency of the CR, and the time splitting model can achieve higher spectrum efficiency.
