In this paper, we analyze an underlay two-way decode-and-forward scheme in which secondary relays use successive interference cancellation (SIC) technology to decode data of two secondary sources sequentially, and then generate a coded signal by superposition coding (SC) technology, denoted as SIC-SC protocol. The SIC-SC protocol is designed to operate in two time slots under effects from an interference constraint of a primary receiver and residual interference of imperfect SIC processes. Transmit powers provided to carry the data are allocated dynamically according to channel powers of interference and transmission, and a secondary relay is selected from considering strongest channel gain subject to increase in decoding capacity of the first data and decrease in collection time of channel state information. Closed-form outage probability expressions are derived from mathematical manipulations and verified by performing Monte Carlo simulations. An identical scheme of underlay two-way decodeand-forward relaying with random relay selection and fixed power allocations is considered to compare with the proposed SIC-SC protocol, denoted as RRS protocol. Simulation and analysis results show that the non-identical outage performances of the secondary sources in the proposed SIC-SC protocol are improved by increasing the number of the secondary relays and the interference constraint as well as decreasing the residual interference powers. Secondly, the performance of the nearer secondary source is worse than that of the farther secondary source. In addition, the proposed SIC-SC protocol outperforms the RRS comparison protocol, and effect of power allocations through channel powers is discovered. Finally, derived theory values are precise to simulation results.
