Cognitive radio (CR) is a promising wireless paradigm that provides efficient spectral usage. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a potential technology providing many advanced functionalities in terms of power and rate control for cognitive radio networks (CRNs). Power allocation for CRNs is a crucial task for better interference management. In this paper, a subcarrier assignment scheme and a novel power allocation algorithm using geometric water filling is presented for OFDM based CRNs. This algorithm is optimized such a way to maximize the sum rate of secondary users by allocating power more efficiently, while constraining the 1) total transmit power, 2) individual subchannel transmit power as well as 3) individual subcarrier peak power of secondary users, for a given interference level to the primary users. Numerical results show that this algorithm provides better utilization of power resources thus maximizes the sum rate than the existing algorithms.
