ABSTRACT

In this paper, two novel automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) based protocols are proposed, which exploit coopera- tion opportunity inherent in secondary retransmission to cre- ate access opportunities. If the signal was not decoded cor- rectly by destination, another user can be acted as a relay to reduce retransmission rounds by relaying the signal. For comparison, we also propose a Direct ARQ Protocol. Specif- ically, we derive the exact closed-form outage probability of three protocols, which provides an effective means to evalu- ate the effects of several parameters. Moreover, we propose a new metric to evaluate the performance improvement for cognitive networks. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations were presented to validate the theory analysis, and a comparison is made among the three protocols.
