Without disrupting the primary user （PU） transmissions, the overlay model allows the secondary user （SU） to utilize opportunistically the idle sub-channels; the underlay model allows the SU to occupy the same sub-channels with PU. The proposed protocols are designed for maximizing the quality of experience （QoE） of CR users and switching dynamically between the overlay and underlay models. QoE is measured by the mean opinion score （MOS） rather than simply fulfilling the physical and medium access control （MAC） layer requirements. The simulations considering the file transfer and video stream services show that the proposed resource allocation strategy is spectrum efficient.展开更多

Compared with schemes without any allocation, the scheme with joint channel, power and timeslot allocation significantly increases the overall end-to-end throughput by no less than 70% under same simulation conditions. This scheme can not only maximize the throughput by increasing total maximum power of relay node, but also outperform other resource allocation schemes when lower total maximum power of source and relay nodes is restricted. As the total maximum power of source node increases, the scheme with joint channel and timeslot allocation performs best in all schemes.展开更多
