Cognitive radio and cooperative networks are increasingly regarded as revolutionary technologies that utilise the radio spectrum efficiently. In this study, spectrally encoded (spread-time) code division multiple access (SE-CDMA) scheme is proposed as a flexible and adaptable technique for physical layer of cognitive relay networks. All primary and secondary users transmit their signals to a common base station (BS) and then the BS selects one of the cognitive secondary users based on feedback information to relay the primary user's (PU's) data. To study the efficiency of the system, two scenarios are considered. In the first scenario, the secondary users transmit their information using the... 

Compressed Sensing (CS), as a new rapidly growing research field, promises to effectively recover a sparse signal at the rate of below Nyquist rate. This revolutionary technology strongly relies on the sparsity of the signal and incoherency between sensing basis and representation basis. Exact recovery of a sparse signal will be occurred in a situation that the signal of interest sensed randomly and the measurements are also taken based on sparsity level and log factor of the signal dimension. In this paper, compressed sensing method is proposed to reduce the noise and reconstruct the image signal. Noise reduction and image reconstruction are formulated in the theoretical framework of...
