Abstrakt: Millimeter-waves’ propagation characteristics create opportunities for spatio-temporal spectrum sharing in a variety of contexts, including cognitive spectrum sharing (CSS). However, CSS with omnidirectional sensing is not efficient at mmWave frequencies due to their directional transmission, as this limits secondary networks’ ability to access the spectrum. This inspired us to create an analytical approach using stochastic geometry to examine the implications of directional sensing in millimeter-wave (mmWave) CSS. We explore a cognitive network where multiple secondary transmitter-receiver pairs coexist with multiple primary transmitter-receiver pairs. The positions of the secondary transmitters are modelled using a Poisson point process with corresponding secondary receivers located around them. A threshold on directional transmission is imposed on each secondary transmitter to limit its interference at the primary receiver. We derive the medium-access-probability of a secondary user along with the fraction of the secondary transmitters active at a time-instant. To understand cognition’s feasibility, we derive the primary and secondary links’ coverage probabilities. We provide various design insights. For example, we investigate the interference-threshold’s optimal value while ensuring both link’s coverage and its dependence on various parameters. We find that directionality improves both links’ performance. Further, allowing location-aware secondary-directionality can help achieve similar coverage for all secondary links.
