Problem Statement
For a MIMO cognitive multi-relay network, this work
proposes an optimal relay selection and beamforming
scheme subject to transmit power constraints at the relays
and the interference power constraints at the primary
users.

System Model
Pair of a SU are transmitting in the
presence of 2 PUs, each equipped
with one antenna
K cognitive relays, each relay is
equipped with N antennas
No direct link between the SU nodes
Intference from the PUs is neglected

System Model
TDD mode is considered for the
system
During the ﬁrst time slot, the SU-TX
transmits signals to the relays
At the second time slot, the kth
selected relay, multiplies the
received signals and forwards it the
