ABSTRACT  
In recent years, cognitive relay networks (CRNs) have emerged as a fantastic trend in  
research. It supports the establishment of a new communication network by spectrum-  
sharing technique. However, most papers focus on studying the performance of the dual-hop  
scheme. This paper evaluates the proposed multi-hop model by giving the closed-form multi-  
hop network outage (OP). Simulation verifies our derivation and discovers the impact of  
several related factors on the secondary outage probability. We also highlight the end-to-end  
secondary multi-hop network by directly building the map to assist designers and operators  
on a network.  
Keywords: Multi-hop, congnitive relay networks, outage probability.  
1. INTRODUCTION  
Nowadays, cognitive relay networks (CRNs) are considered by many researchers.  
Instead of direct transmission from the source to its destination, the relay network has to  
transfer its data via intermediate relays [1, 2]. In the cognitive regime, some transmitters  
must adapt their transmit power to limit other receivers' impact in the cognitive relay  
network. Theoretically, Goldsmith et al. [3] first proposed three key cognitive radio network  
paradigms: underlay, overlay, and interweave. So far, most of the researchers are into the  
underlay paradigm. The protocol exchanging data are Amplify-and-Forward (AF) [4],  
Decode-and-Forward (DF), and Randomize-and-Forward (RF) [5], etc. However, network  
performance significantly decreases when the secondary transmitters have to limit power by  
many primary users (PUs). In [6], the authors investigate the performance of dual-hop  
cognitive networks with multiple primary users. Though authors take into account the mutual  
interference, the work considers the sketchy impact of the primary on the dual-hop  
secondary network. Moreover, several primary location simulations did not fully know the  
mutual influence between the two networks. Contrastly, the work [5] concerns with secure  
communication and compares protocols: DF & RF. The authors also present the foot-print  
map according to the relay position which gives the best information assisting in network  
design. Until now, most papers have studied the dual-hop network model.  
Some original proposal of the conventional multi-hop scheme was found in [7-9].  
Because of the advantage of the low transmit power, low interfering to others, high coverage,  
and high spectrum efficiency [10], the multi-hop network topology is interested in research  
in spectrum sharing where the secondary route can be established under the licenced user at a  
space. In this regime, the multi-hop scheme is better performance than dual-hop one [11, 12].

In particular, Fig. 3 in [11] shows that the outage probability (OP) of the multi-hop  
cooperative transmission (MCT) is the lowest where the network has 3 or 4 hops depending  
on the harvesting factor. When it comes to the conventional multi-hop network (CMN), the  
secrecy outage probability (SOP) in [13] indicates that the best number of hops is 3 and 4. In  
other words, a triple-hop or quad-hop network is more efficient than dual-hop in these cases.  
More extensive research, the authors in [14] conclude that the optimal number of hops of  
MCT is a higher value than CMN. Moreover, the number of both is normally larger than 2 in  
Table 1. In [15], the authors study the optimal power allocation of every node in which the  
secrecy rate increase is the main target. Each node is possible of MRC (Maximal Radio  
Combining) on the frame included multiple time slots. They gave out the algorithm to find  
the best power vector in terms of LOS (Ligh of Sight) or Non-LOS. However, the multi-hop  
network occupies its own spectrum. In [16], the authors propose the cognitive network  
model in which the secondary multi-hop network is constrained power by the multiple  
antenna primary network. Solved the multi-antenna system by TAS/SC diversity (Transmit  
Antenna Selection/Selection Combining), the authors calculate the optimal of the OP of  
primary network that it assists in enhancing the OP on the multi-hop network. Nevertheless,  
the Rician fading is modeled in the data link. Whereas, the work in [13] use Rayleigh fading  
for its proposal to derive the SOP with the i.n.i.d primary node distribution. Having said that  
all aforementioned papers did not show clearly map supports to directly network design.  
To the best of our knowledge, hardly papers fully cover the multiple primary users’  
impact on the outage of the secondary multi-hop network and show the foot-print form to  
support the design of new cognitive multi-hop networks except [5]. Ignoring the security,  
this work concentrates on the multi-hop outage performance in CRNs via building the map  
directly to assist designers and operators on a new network. Furthermore, the hardware  
imperfection is also concerned in our analysis.  
2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS  
2.1. Network model  
Figure 1 shows the structure of the proposed cognitive networks. The primary network  
has L PUs, which has more priority in communication. Hence, to avoid suffering from  
IPi  
others, PUs define their own interference threshold  
so that other transmitters have to  
adjust to satisfy these thresholds. Besides, the secondary multi-hop network has a source  
relays  
via K orthogonal time slots. Source ST transmits the signal to ST in the  
K
ST that transfers data to its destination STK with the assistance of

first slot, exploited Decode-and-Forward (DF) protocol. Next, ST similarly transmits  
1
signal to ST2 in the second time slot. The process is repeated until the data send over K  
time slots. It is assumed that all channels in the proposed model are subject to slowly varying  
Rayleigh fading.

As seen in Figure 2, the end-to-end OP goes down when the  
rises. It is because  
IP /N0  
the  
looser, the multi-hop transmitters can transmit with higher power at that time. It  
IP /N0  
leads to OP reduction. When it comes to the number of secondary hops, we observe that the  
OP is a lower value where the number of hops increases. It relates to the shorten distance on  
each hop.

Figure 3 shows the OP as a function of various hardware imperfections. In fact, when  
the imperfect level increases to one, the transmission is unsuccessful because of OP = 1  
regardless of other factors. Compared to the model [14] which exists power beacons and  
primary users, the hardware impairment tolerance is higher where OP = 1 due to the fact that  
its transmit power is not constrained in this case. Besides, more PUs results in higher OP value.

We determine the end-to-end multi-hop outage with the verified derivation above in  
terms of fixed  
on half of the vicinity in Figure 4. As seen, OP is the highest when  
K L
the PU is nearest the transmitter or receiver. Compared to [10], [20, 21], and [22] with simply  
sliding the Eavesdropper, the Relay, and the Power Beacon respectively in one direction (1D),  
the Figure above indicates that the multi-hop network is not only severely affected  
performance by PU’s location on the horizontal direction but also significantly changed on the  
vertical PU’s moving. Back to [5] with a 2D optimal relay map, Figure 4 clearly shows the  
map which indicates the effect of PUs on the performance of the secondary multi-hop  
network. Based on this map, it is recommended that setting a new network install the multi-  
hop transceiver positions in the condition that the PUs are placed farther the multi-hop  
network.  
4. CONCLUSION  
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the secondary multi-hop network in the  
underlay CRNs paradigm. Our research shows that the multi-hop topology has better  
performance when compared to dual-hop in the same condition. Many more PUs results in  
low multi-hop QoS. The hardware imperfection can influent the end-to-end OP, but it is  
significant if the level is 1. Based on the PU’s location map, we suggest that the multi-hop  
transceiver needs farther away from the PUs if it’s possible.

Trong những năm gần đây, mạng chuyển tiếp nhận thức (CRNs) đã được quan tâm  
như một xu hướng nghiên cứu mới. Đặc tính của mạng nhận thức có thể hỗ trợ thiết lập một  
mạng truyền thông mới bằng kỹ thuật chia sẻ phổ tần. Tuy nhiên, hầu hết các bài báo trước  
đây chỉ dừng lại ở việc nghiên cứu hiệu năng của mạng thứ cấp với sơ đồ hai chặng  
(dual-hop). Bài báo này đánh giá hiệu năng của mô hình mạng đa chặng bằng cách đưa ra  
công thức xác suất dừng từ đầu cuối đến đầu cuối. Từ đó, mô phỏng kiểm chứng tính chính  
xác của các kết quả đưa ra. Ngoài ra, kết quả mô phỏng cho thấy những ảnh hưởng của một  
số yếu tố liên quan khác đến xác suất dừng của mạng đa chặng thứ cấp. Chúng tôi đặc biệt  
đưa ra được biểu đồ xác xuất dừng hệ thống trong mối tương quan ở dạng footprint nhằm hỗ  
trợ trực tiếp các nhà thiết kế và vận hành mạng.  
Từ khoá: Mạng chuyển tiếp đa chặng, mạng nhận thức, xác suất dừng.
