radio system in the presence of primary user (PU) interference. In particular, we consider a
secondary multi-relay network operating in the amplify-and-forward (AF) mode and only the
“best” relay which satisfies an index of merit is selected. The proposed selection strategy
takes into consideration the effect of PU interference, ie, we assume that a secondary relay
network is exposed to unwanted interference from a neighboring PU network. We derive a …
