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.
