Abstract

Transmission power control (TPC) is an important aspects of underlay transmission in the cognitive radio (CR) networks since it is able to avoid the extra interference from secondary transmission which can let the CR user coexist with the primary systems around. However, due to the different coverage of the primary signal and CR signal, combined with the complexity of the wireless communication, the scanning CR transmitter may not detect the existence of the primary systems. It will cause inaccurate TPC which will severely disrupt the primary service. In this letter, we propose a dynamic neighbor coordinated power control scheme that can avoid the misdetection of the primary signal and provide relatively accurate TPC related distance estimation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme greatly reduces interference to the primary systems while enhancing overall CR network throughput.
