On the study of cognitive two-way relaying using a denoise-and-forward relay

In this paper, we consider a cognitive cooperative wireless system consisting of two primary users, a cognitive base station (CBS) and a secondary user. A cognitive two-way relaying (CTWR) scheme is proposed, where the secondary user tries to assist the primary users to meet their target quality of service (QoS) by acting as a cognitive two-way relay, when the direct link of the two primary users cannot meet the target QoS. As a return, the primary network shares its transmission time-slot with the secondary user. First, the system outage probabilities of traditional direct transmission and CTWR scheme are analyzed, giving both the exact and approximated expressions. Second, a transmission time-slot splitting algorithm between the primary and secondary users is proposed. Third, the ergodic capacity of the secondary user under the CTWR scheme is examined. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed scheme cannot only help the primary users to meet their target QoS, but also improve the communication opportunities of the secondary user.
