description As the popularity of smartphones, wearable devices, intelligent vehicles, and countless other devices continues to rise, the surging demand for mobile data traffic has resulted in an increasingly crowded electromagnetic spectrum. Spectrum sharing serves as a solution to optimize the utilization of wireless communication channels, allowing various types of users to share the same frequency band securely. This paper investigates spectrum allocation and power control problems in overlay spectrum sharing, with a focus on promoting green communication. Maximizing weighted sum energy efficiency (WSEE) requires solving complex multiple-ratio fractional programming (FP) problems. In contrast, weighted sum power (WSP) minimization offers a more straightforward approach. Moreover, because WSP is directly related to users’ power consumption, we can dynamically adjust their weights to balance their residual energy. We prioritize WSP minimization over the more common WSEE maximization. This choice not only simplifies computation but also maintains users’ quality of service (QoS) requirements. The joint optimization for multiple primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) can be decomposed into two components: a weighted bipartite matching problem and a series of convex resource allocation problems. Utilizing Newton’s method, our system-level simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves optimal performance with minimal computational time. We explore strategies to accelerate the proposed scheme by refining the selection of initial values for Newton’s method.
