Abstract

The bandwidth efficient cooperative two-way amplify-and-forward relaying method allows users in a secondary network to utilize a relay node in the primary users' network while minimizing co-channel interference. In the method, two primary user network sources communicate through a primary user network relay node. A secondary user network source and a secondary user destination agree to act as relays for the primary network sources, all of the above using amplify-and-forward protocol. In return, the primary network relay node allows the secondary user source to communicate through the primary network relay node with the secondary user destination using decode-and-forward protocol. Five symbols, including four primary user symbols and one secondary user symbol, are transmitted in four time slots for a bandwidth efficiency of 1.25. The primary network relay and the secondary users relay transmissions have their power allocated to minimize symbol error rate and maximize sum rate.
