LIST OF ASSUMPTIONS
1. Both Primary Network and Secondary User are following time slotted synchronous
communication.
2. The energy harvesting process is stationary and ergodic.
3. The Primary Users signal and noise are zero mean circularly symmetric gaussian
noise.
4. We have a frequency-flat, block Rayleigh fading channel.
5. Secondary User has partial knowledge about primary Network.
6. Channel power gain g at time slot t+1 is independent of the channel power
gain at previous time slots

KEY CONTRIBUTION
1. Under energy neutrality constraint, achannel selection criterion for an energy harvesting CR to
maximizetheaveragespectral efficiency of SU is proposed.
2. Based on theproposed channel selection criterion, wedevelop optimal and myopic policies in a
POMDP framework for SU to choose thechannel for sensing.
3. The effect of sensing errors on SUs average spectral efficiency through the trade-off between the
transmission duration and theenergy lost in collisions between PU and SU is highlighted.

KEY PROPOSED METHOD
We model SU in OSA paradigm, in which the PU channels are accessed with sufficient protection to PU
by satisfying thetarget probability of detectionP

and theprobability of false alarmP

SIMULATION ANALYSIS

WhereP
coI
is probability of collision.
Increasein P
coI
results in morenumber of collisions with PU & thenumber of fail attempts increases i.e.
drop in throughput. If timeavailablefor transmission increases then throughput also increases. Also there
is atrade-off exists against thevariation ofP

.At higher harvesting rates, SU throughput is higher.
