Abstract:
In this paper, we analyze the secondary network transmission given a packet timeout threshold and a target bit error rate (BER) in a downlink multiservice spectrum sharing cognitive radio network (CRN). Under the joint constraint of primary user (PU) outage probability and secondary user (SU) peak transmit power, the adaptive transmit power policy of the SU transmitter (SU-Tx) is obtained. The throughput is maximized by transmitting to the secondary receiver (SU-Rx) having the best channel condition. We maintain fairness with a minimum resource guarantee assigned to each packet of a class of service. Accordingly, the average packet transmission time is determined. In addition, employing an M/G/1/B queueing model, the packet blocking probability is given to develop expressions of the average throughput and packet loss probability for the secondary class of service. Moreover, the quality of experience (QoE) is evaluated based on the relationship between the packet loss probability and mean opinion score (MOS). The results show that the secondary network achieves the stable transmission quality and minimizes packet loss when the number of SU-Rx becomes large.
