Abstract:

For acquiring high energy efficiency and the maximal throughput, a new time slot structure is designed for energy harvesting (EH) cognitive radio (CR). Considering the CR system with EH and cooperative relay, a best cooperative mechanism (BCM) is proposed for CR with EH. To get the optimal estimation performance, a quantum fireworks algorithm (QFA) is designed to resolve the difficulties of maximal throughput and EH, and the proposed cooperative mechanism is called as QFA-BCM. The proposed QFA combines the advantages of quantum computation theory with the fireworks algorithm (FA). Thus the QFA is able to obtain the optimal solution and its convergence performance is proved. By using the new cooperation mechanism and computing algorithm, the proposed QFA-BCM method can achieve comparable maximal throughput in the new timeslot structure. Simulation results have proved that the QFA-BCM method is superior to previous non-cooperative and cooperative mechanisms.
