Introduction
In CR systems the transmission of SU is required to satisfy the PU's interference limit to protect the PU's performance

Constraint 1 : Maximum allowable collision probability which is related to spectrum sensing.

Constraint 2 : Interference power limit which introduces power restrictions on the channel output which is different form conventional wireless systems.

Spectrum of SU in OFDM based CR system

Assumption : The distance between the SU and the nearest undetectable PU transmitter is known in advance. The PU transmitter is assumed to be just at the margin of the reliable sensing region

Assume Gj is the power constraint in the jth sub-channel after the sensing, then

Rj = radius of the protection region of PUj dj = Distance between the SU's transmitter and the nearest undetectable PUj transmitter j = Interference power limit of PUj j = Path attenuation factor

Consider the problem with total power constraint Ptotal +

Lemma 2 : Assume that Pi C satisfies the following condition

Then the new water level is and

Conclusion :
A new low-complexity optimal power allocation algorithm for OFDM based CRN is proposed

By exploiting some properties of the water-filling algorithm, a new powerincrement and power-decrement water filling algorithms are proposed

In future, the algorithm may be extended to be applicable to realistic Cognitive Radio Networks
