In this paper,we consider the spectrum sharing Cognitive Radio(CR) system,wherein Single-Input Multi-Output(SIMO) cognitive fading channel is assumed.Subject to the average in-terference constraint of primary user,the ergodic capacity of cognitive user involving joint beamforming and power control is analyzed.We derive the optimal joint beamforming and power control strategy and deduce the general integral expression for ergodic capacity.Furthermore,under different channel fadings including Raleigh fading,Nakagami-m fading and Lognormal shadowing fading,the specific expressions of ergodic capacity for SIMO cognitive channel are exhibited.Most of the expressions are presented in closed-form or with some special integral functions.Large amount of simulations are conducted to corroborate our theoretical results.
