While interference mitigation to the PU spectral band from the SU s transmission has received a lot of attention in recent literature the novelty of our work is in considering a more realistic and effective approach of dividing the PU into sub-bands and ensuring that the interference to each of them is below a specified threshold. With this objective and within a power budget we execute the tasks of power allocation bit loading and sizing the sub-carrier bandwidth for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM -based SU. After extensively analyzing the solution form of the optimization problems posed for the resource allocation we suggest iterative algorithms to meet the aforementioned objectives. The algorithm for sub-carrier bandwidth sizing is novel and not previously presented in literature. A multiple SU scenario is also considered which entails assigning sub-carriers to the users besides the resource allocation. Simulation results are provided for both single and multi-user cases which indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in a CR environment.
