Abstract

In this paper, a cooperative cognitive radio network (CRN) with energy harvesting capabilities of its secondary users is considered. Specifically, cooperative spectrum sensing and multi-antenna beamforming are employed to improve the sensing performance and the energy transfer efficiency, respectively. In our approach, a homogeneous CRN scenario is studied where the optimal sensing probability of each second user (SU) is obtained to maximize the control center (CC) throughput while satisfying the energy causality and primary user (PU) collision constraints. An iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal charging time. Numerical results depict that in an energy constrained scenario, cooperative spectrum sensing with beamforming performs much better than cooperative spectrum sensing without beamforming in terms of increased system throughput.
