Notice that, when fl,m

that is essentially the same as that in [9], in which an optimal
iterative water-filling algorithm has been proposed. In OP2,

more difficult. Since low-complexity algorithms are preferable,
we propose a fast suboptimal power-allocation algorithm for
OP2 in the next section.

than 50%, 70%, and 85% for E{H1,m } of 109 , 1011 , and
1013 , respectively.
The sum ANB for all subchannels as a function of the
total CRP power, i.e., S, is shown in Fig. 3, with I1 = I2 =
8 1015 W and E{Hl,m } = 1012 , l = 1, 2 for both Case A
and Case B. As expected, the ANBs for OPT, OPT-APPROX,
SUBOPT-APPROX, and NABO increase with S. The ANB
difference between OPT-APPROX and OPT is less than 0.15%,
and the ANB difference between SUBOPT-APPROX and OPTAPPROX is less than 3% for both cases. The ANB for
SUBOPT-APPROX is over 50% (20%) higher than that of
NABO at S = 0.24 mW for Case A (Case B) and over 55%
(70%) at S = 0.024 W.
To show that with SUBOPT-APPROX, the actual generated
interference powers to the active PUPs, i.e., PUP 1 and PUP 2,
are acceptable, we summarize the following in Table I: 1) the
fraction of realizations for which either PUP 1 or PUP 2
experience interference powers in excess of their thresholds Il ;
2) the average percentage by which the interference threshold
limit is exceeded considering only those realizations in which
the threshold is exceeded; and 3) the percentage by which the
maximum interference power (among the 10 000 realizations)
exceeds the thresholds as a function of S, with I1 = I2 =
8 1015 W and E{Hl,m } = 1012 , l = 1, 2. It can be seen
that the actual maximum interference power generated by the
CRP is less than 1.02Il .
The sum ANB for all subchannels as a function of the
interference threshold, i.e., I1 , is shown in Fig. 4, with I1 = I2 ,
S = 0.024 W, and E{Hl,m } = 1012 , l = 1, 2. The ANBs for
