Journal ArticleDOI

On the Performance of Cooperative Relaying Spectrum-Sharing Systems with Collaborative Distributed Beamforming

TL;DR: The results show the effectiveness of the combination of the cooperative diversity and distributed beamforming in compensating for the loss in the secondary system's performance due to the primary user's co-channel interference.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of Quadrature Spatial Modulation in Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative Relaying

TL;DR: Simulation results, which corroborate the numerical ones, show the effectiveness of combined QSM and cooperative relaying in improving the overall system performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quadrature Spatial Modulation in MIMO Cognitive Radio Systems With Imperfect Channel Estimation and Limited Feedback

TL;DR: Numerical results illustrate the robustness of QSM in enhancing the overall system performance in the presence of estimation errors, as well as insights on the system diversity and channel estimation errors’ effects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Cooperative relaying in spectrum-sharing systems with beamforming and interference constraints

TL;DR: A distributed Zero Forcing Beamforming (ZFB) method in cognitive radio relay networks in an effort to enhance the spectrum efficiency and improve the performance of the cognitive (secondary) system is used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial Modulation in MIMO Limited-Feedback Spectrum-Sharing Systems With Mutual Interference and Channel Estimation Errors

TL;DR: Simulation results show the importance of SM in improving the overall secondary performance and its robustness to CEEs.
