Multihop Cognitive Relaying Over Composite Multipath/Shadowing Channels

The composite multipath/shadowing model is key to accurate modeling of real-world wireless channels, due to the combination of the effects of both fading and shadowing. However, the fundamental limits of spectrum-sharing cognitive radio have not been studied for such propagation conditions, leaving a gap in the analysis of these systems and, hence, the communication strategies that can be built up...
