The SU can only perform either energy harvesting or data transmission due to the hardware limitation. In this case, the entire time-slot is segmented into two non-overlapping fractions. During the first sub-timeslot, the SU can harvest energy from the ambient radio signal when the PU is transmitting. In order to obtain more revenue, the PU leases a portion of its time to SU, while the SU can transmit its own data by using the harvested energy. According to convex optimization, we get the optimal leasing time to maximize the SU\u2019s throughput while guaranteeing the quality of service (QoS) of PU. To evaluate the performance of our proposed spectrum leasing scheme, we compare the utility of PU and the energy efficiency ratio of the entire networks in our framework with the conventional strategies respectively. The numerical simulation results prove the superiority of our proposed spectrum leasing scheme.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16030305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,29]],"date-time":"2016-02-29T10:55:59Z","timestamp":1456743359000},"page":"305","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Leasing-Based Performance Analysis in Energy Harvesting Cognitive Radio Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Fanzi","family":"Zeng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha, 410012, China"}]},{"given":"Jisheng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha, 410012, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1109\/98.788210","article-title":"Cognitive radio: making software radios more personal","volume":"6","author":"Mitola","year":"1999","journal-title":"IEEE Personal Commun."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1698","DOI":"10.1109\/JSAC.2011.110918","article-title":"Green wireless communications: A time-reversal paradigm","volume":"29","author":"Wang","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE J.
