Wireless networks will face a problem in future for large traffic volumes. To recover this problem, relay network was used in architecture of fourth generation (4G) LTE-Advanced relay network. The power allocation and optimal subcarrier allocation strategies are used to get the maximum effective capacity in LTE-A relay systems. In LTE-A system, Quality of Service will depend on effective capacity. Cognitive radio technology addresses the limited availability of wireless spectrum and inefficiency of spectrum usage. Cognitive Radio (CR) devices are used to sense environment, detect unused spectrum, and automatically access the available spectrum without creating any harmful interferences to the incumbents. Filter Bank Multicarrier with Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (FBMC/OQAM) scheme is recognized for 5G wireless technologies with an extremely low Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR). FBMC/OQAM scheme is suitable for Cognitive Radio (CR) applications.
