In this study, ergodic capacity performance for the secondary user is analyzed under the average received power constraint taking into account the effect of interference from the primary user in the spectrum sharing model for the cognitive radio network. With the capacity-maximizing water-filling solution and power allocation approach, the theoretical derivations for ergodic capacity are provided on Nakagami-m and log -normally distributed fading channels. The numerical results show that interference channels originating from the primary network have a significant impact on the capacity of the secondary user. Ergodic capacity performance for the secondary user is verified by Monte Carlo simulations, taking into account the fading parameter of the Nakagami distribution, the standard deviation of the log-normal distribution, and the Lagrange multiplier parameters that determine the optimum power of the secondary user.
