Abstract
Cognitive radio (CR) is one of the candidate enabling technologies for future wireless communication systems. This paper is devoted to analyze the capacity of underlay cognitive multihop relaying over independent and non-identically distributed generalized-K fading channels. In doing so, we derive upper and lower-bounded expressions for the ergodic capacity and the outage probability of the secondary user (SU), respectively. By using these expressions, new insights in the performance of the cognitive multihop amplify-and-forward relaying are revealed. The obtained results provide interesting details on the joint effect of shadowing and multipath fading on the capacity of the SU in relay-assisted underlay CR networks. The analytical results are verified by Monte-Carlo simulations for different fading conditions.
