    Abstract: Cognitive Radio (CR), which aims to improve spectrum utilization by accessing the spectrum originally licensed to a primary system, is a promising concept. In cognitive radio system based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), the optimized algorithms for sub-carrier power allocation share the problems of complex iterative calculatio...

    Abstract: This paper proposes a novel symbol mapping that uses signal shaping to alleviate the BER problem in constellation sharing with the use of phase information. This mapping solves one of the most critical problems; the small Euclid distance of the PSK symbols in the constellation sharing of OOK and PSK in Passive Optical Networks (PONs). Constellation...
