This paper investigates the performance of a network-coded cooperative (NCC) system in an underlay cognitive radio network (CRN). The primary network (PN) consists of a single transmitter-receiver pair, while the secondary network (SN) is composed of N sources, a single destination, and M decode-and-forward (DF) relays, employing network coding (NC) over non-binary Galois field. For the SN, a closed-form expression and an asymptotically tight end-to-end (E2E) outage probability (OP) are derived and the diversity order is quantified. Compared to the existing literature, the proposed CRN NCC has four main distinguishable features: i) it is applicable to general CRN NCC network settings with arbitrary number of sources and relays; ii) it considers general relay selection and independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Nakagami-m fading channels; iii) it accounts for maximum transmit power at the SN and assumes secondary-to-primary (S2P) and primary-to-secondary (P2S) interference links; and iv) it provides a generalization of previous works and includes existing results in the literature as special cases. Simulation results are further provided to confirm the correctness of our analysis. |
