  • Abstract

    The problem of estimating the optimum radio capacity of a spread spectrum non-cellular Cognitive Radio (CR) system, operating in a Rayleigh fading environment, is examined. The optimization is based on the maximization of the average channel capacity (in the Shannon-Hartley sense) available to primary user. In this work, the system's radio capacity is expressed in terms of the number of simultaneously transmitting secondary users but considering only one primary user which receives the spread spectrum simultaneously transmitted signals, through an optimum maximal-ratio combiner (MRC) RAKE receiver. Finally, the theoretical analysis leads to a simple but novel closed-form expression, for the optimum radio capacity, which can be useful for the practical design of a non-cellular CR system and for an initial quantitative analysis. In addition, numerical results are presented to prove and illustrate the validity of the considered model.
