Spectrum sensing and resource allocation for 5G heterogeneous cloud radio access networks

Abstract In this paper, the problem of opportunistic spectrum sharing for the next generation of wireless systems empowered by the cloud radio access network (C‐RAN) is studied. More precisely, low‐priority users employ cooperative spectrum sensing to detect a vacant portion of the spectrum that is...

description Abstract In this paper, the problem of opportunistic spectrum sharing for the next generation of wireless systems empowered by the cloud radio access network (C‐RAN) is studied. More precisely, low‐priority users employ cooperative spectrum sensing to detect a vacant portion of the spectrum that is not currently used by high‐priority users. The authors' aim is to maximize the overall throughput of the low‐priority users while guaranteeing the quality of service of the high‐priority users. This objective is attained by optimally adjusting spectrum sensing time, with respect to target probabilities of detection and false alarm, as well as dynamically allocating C‐RAN resources, that is, powers, sub‐carriers, remote radio heads, and base‐band units. To solve this problem, which is non‐convex and NP‐hard, a low‐complex iterative solution is proposed. Numerical results demonstrate the necessity of sensing time adjustment as well as effectiveness of the proposed solution.
