Abstract
Interference alignment (IA) has been proposed to optimally manage the interference aiming at providing the maximum degrees of freedom for multiuser interference channels. Therefore, IA has been used in cognitive radio (CR) systems to perform resource management in order to improve the throughput of the OFDM/FBMC based MIMO CR systems. In this work, a sub-optimal IA based power loading method is proposed for OFDM/FBMC based MIMO CR systems to approach the optimal approach with fewer complexity. In the proposed algorithm, all secondary users are enabled to share the available spectrum on the base of IA technique without affecting the quality-of-service of the primary system. Furthermore, spectral efficiency comparison between MIMO-OFDM and MIMO-FBMC is presented. Simulation results show that IA based power loading achieves a significant sum-rate increase of CR systems compared to traditional orthogonal multiple access techniques. Additionally, IA based power loading achieves better sum-rate improvement with FBMC than OFDM physical layer.
