Abstract
Motivated by the deployment of hybrid cooperative cognitive radio (HCCR) based relays in cellular environments, this paper proposes the hybrid cognitive Gaussian two-way relay channel (HCGTWRC) model. Recently, the combination of licensed and cognitive radios with cooperative systems has gained popularity. These combined techniques have the potential to outperform primary network and pure cognitive network by utilizing the complementary nature of licensed and cognitive radios. In the proposed HCGTWRC model, a relay jointly utilizes both the licensed as well as the unlicensed/cognitive radio resources (RRs). Unlike conventional two-way relay channel, in this proposed model, source uses licensed resources for transmission and relay forwards this information using cognitive RRs. These licensed and unlicensed resources are not affected by total resource constraints of source and relay. Here, unlicensed RRs are not only described by bandwidth and power but also by reliability/availability parameter because of its opportunistic nature. In this paper, the proposed HCGTWRC model is studied by taking information theoretic aspect. In this respect, firstly, upper and lower bounds of performance metrics such as capacity, spectral efficiency (SE), and energy efficiency (EE) are analytically derived for the proposed HCGTWRC model. Then the optimal resource (such as power and bandwidth) allocation is derived with respect to upper and lower bounds of each performance metrics. Further, the performance comparison of the proposed HCGTWRC model is presented with the existing one. Numerical results are also presented for the optimal resource allocation to validate the analytical ones.
