A cognitive radio can operate as a secondary system in a given spectrum. This operation should use limited power in order not to disturb the communication by primary spectrum user. Under such conditions, in this paper we investigate how to maximize the spectral efficiency in the secondary system. A secondary receiver observes a multiple access channel of two users, the secondary and the primary transmitter, respectively. We show that, for spectrally-efficient operation, the secondary system should apply Opportunistic Interference Cancellation (OIC). With OIC, the secondary system decodes the primary signal when such an opportunity is created by the primary rate and the power received from the primary system. For such an operation, we derive the achievable data rate in the secondary system. When the primary signal is decodable, we devise a method, based on superposition coding, by which the secondary system can achieve the maximal possible rate. Finally, we investigate the power allocation in the secondary system when multiple channels are used. We show that the optimal power allocation with OIC can be achieved through intercepted water-filling instead of the conventional water-filling. The results show a significant gain for the rate achieved through an opportunistic interference cancellation.
