Abstract: In this paper, Bit Error Rate (BER) of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based cognitive radio network is analyzed in the presence of Primary User Interference (PUI). Since, the PUI signal affects only few subcarriers of the OFDM signal, it can be modeled as a sparsity vector. In this network model, half duplex Amplify and Forward (AF) relaying is considered in the absence of direct link. Further, it is assumed that the network is operating in the overlay mode, thus the primary user transmitted signal act as interference at secondary user relay and destination nodes. In this paper, the PUI is mitigated using convex optimization. Bit Error Rate (BER) is analyzed using Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) Modulation and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM). Simulation results conclude that after primary interference suppression, the performance of the proposed system is significantly improved.
