Cognitive radio methodologies have the potential to dramatically increase the throughput of wireless systems. Herein, control strategies which enable the superposition in time and frequency of primary and secondary user transmissions are explored in contrast to more traditional sensing approaches which only allow the secondary user to transmit when the primary user is idle. In this work, the optimal transmission policy for the secondary user when the primary user adopts a retransmission based error control scheme is investigated. Thus, the policy of the secondary user determines how often it transmits according to the retransmission state of the packet being served by the primary user. The resulting optimal strategy of the secondary user is proven to have a unique structure. In particular, the optimal throughput is achieved by the secondary user by concentrating its interference to the primary user in the first transmissions of a packet.
In REF , it is shown that the SU throughput is maximized by concentrating the interference to the PU in the first transmissions of the PU packet, but the temporal redundancy of ARQ is not exploited to cancel interference.
