Joint optimization assisted by the time and power allocation of spectrum sensing and data transmission is a new paradigm for cooperative wireless network. By taking full account of different cognitive user`s transmit power over channels and their mis-detection/false alarm probability of licensed users, a new joint optimization scheme with amplify-and-forward mode based on system energyefficiency maximization is proposed for sensing-transmission time allocation and power control. It is proven that the global optimal solution of this scheme can be tractable by sequential optimization method. Simulation shows that the energy efficiency of the relay-assisted transmission using our proposed scheme outperforms the non-relay transmission, and the system performance will be improved with sensing-transmission ratio decrement and signal-to-noise ratio of the licensed user increment.
In practical communication systems, the prefect channel state information (CSI) is hardly obtained by transmitters owing to imperfect estimate or feedback of the channel coefficients. In order to mitigate the adverse impact of imperfect CSI on bit error rate, based on the constraint of zero-forcing channel error, a robust minimum interference leakage algorithm is proposed for multi-cell multi-user multi-input multi-output system. The formulation of system sum rate is derived under new objective constraint with channel error. Simulations show that if the imperfect CSI is known, the performance on bit error rate and average sum rate of the user in cell edge can be improved by the proposed robust algorithm, especially at the high signal noise rate values.

Clustering is an important energy-saving mechanism in sensor networks. Most existing clustering algorithms ignore the reverse-data-forwarding phenomenon suffering from limitations in energy efficiency. A directional clustering algorithm (DCA) is proposed for data aggregation in sensor networks. DCA ensures that node’s data is always transmitted towards to sink but not away from it during the whole forwarding route, so as to avoid energy waste caused by the reverse-data-forwarding phenomenon. Simulations show that DCA possesses higher energy efficiency and can prolong the lifetime of sensor networks.
