Abstract
The primary channel selection method for relay networks functions in a relaying cognitive network where a number of relays are used to forward the source message to destination. The primary users utilize orthogonal spectrum bands. One primary user is selected among the available primary users in order to share its spectrum with the secondary users (source and relay). A certain amount of interference is allowed between the primary and secondary users when the primary users' channels are shared by the secondary users.
