Abstract

Traditional power control schemes in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing based Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) are achieved under perfect channel state information (e.g., exact parameter information). Due to the effect of channel estimation errors and feedback delays, however, channel uncertainties are inevitable in practical CRNs. In this paper, considering bounded uncertainties of channel gains, a robust power control algorithm is proposed to minimize the total transmit power of Secondary Users (SUs) subject to interference power constraint of primary user and quality of service constraint of SU where the non-convex optimization problem is converted into a convex optimization problem that is solved by using robust optimization theory. Computer experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by comparing with the non-robust algorithm in the aspect of suppressing the effect of parameter perturbation.
