摘要:In recent years, green communications has received a lot of attention in academic society. Cognitive radio techniques have been introduced to improve the spectrum utilization in already allocated spectrum band to licensed user as well as it promotes green communications. Under spectrum sharing model, secondary users can share spectrum with primary users under condition that total interference caused by SUs should not be exceeded from a predefined level. Energy efficiency is one of the important metric in cognitive radio network as it has to work under strict transmit power constraint. In this paper we explore how better energy efficiency can be achieved in spectrum sharing environment. Our analysis shows that energy efficiency in cognitive radio network is better when number of secondary users is more than available channels.
