Abstract
Radio spectrum is a primary requisite for wireless technologies and sensor networks. Due to the high demand and expense of the radio spectrum, it is guaranteed to extend its efficient utilization it. To expand the effective operation and serviceability of the radio spectrum in wireless communications, the notion of Cognitive Radio (CR) is presented in where the licensed spectrum of Primary User (PU) is used opportunistically by unlicensed CR users without interfering with the prioritized PU data transmission. Usually, a CR system is applied to detect empty radio bands by exploiting well-known spectrum sensing schemes and then unused spectrum is opportunistically used by the CR system. Various channels fading of the radio environment are to be considered while introducing different spectrum sensing approaches. In this regard, sensing time to find a vacant radio spectrum should be maintained minimum to reliably get the desired throughput. In this paper, an agreement issue is addressed between the time required for effective spectrum sensing and the achievable throughput of the CR network. Our proposed model illustrates the achievable throughput of CR node in cooperation provides better performance than stand-alone CR node. This is achieved by addressing the variation of the number of nodes under the Nakagami fading distribution. In conclusion, the maximum throughputs of the cooperative CR nodes are guaranteed as per simulation and data analysis.Keywords
