  In this work, we investigate the successful data communication probability of
an energy harvesting co-operative cognitive radio network (CRN) in the presence
of Poisson field of primary users (PU). We consider the scenario where, after
harvesting energy from primary transmitters (PTs), the secondary transmitter
(ST) would transmit its symbol towards secondary destination (SD) through a
suitable secondary relay from group of randomly scattered idle nodes within a
circular region. We have considered several relay selection criteria in our
work for a better relay node selection. We have also analytically evaluated the
performance of secondary transmitter in terms of probability of successful
symbol transmission. The relationship between the performance of ST and several
network entities like density of PUs, transmit power of PTs and required
transmit power of ST have been investigated through detailed analysis. The
non-trivial trade-off between benefit of energy harvesting and interference
from PTs has been explored in this present work. Numerical results are provided
to verify the precision of derived analytical expressions.
