Fuzzy Logic Power Control in Cognitive Radio

Opportunistic radio spectrum access has the possibility to improve spectrum utilization needed for next generation mobile networks. The main challenge to opportunistic radio spectrum access lies in finding balance in conflicting goals of satisfying performance requirements while minimizing interference. In this paper we propose new strategy for fuzzy logic transmit power control which enables cognitive secondary user to achieve its required transmission rate and quality, while minimizing interference to the primary users and other concurrent secondary users.
