Cognitive Radio is an emerging wireless technology that has grabbed the attention of researchers, academicians, and telecommunication industries worldwide. Recent survey reports show that unlicensed frequency bands have become overcrowded from past few years with widespread acceptance of diverse wireless technology applications whereas, licensed frequency bands are being used intermittently. To deal with the conflicts between unlicensed spectrum overuse and underutilization of licensed frequency band, Cognitive Radio technology has been evolved eventually. It allows unlicensed subscribers to access licensed subscriber frequency band with some power constraints such that minimum or no interference should be experienced by primary user and its quality of service should not be affected while sharing its spectrum with unlicensed secondary subscriber. In this paper, distance based power control scheme has been analyzed for overlay ad-hoc cognitive radio network. It is shown that algorithm provides optimum power control as long as the separation between cognitive transmitter and receiver is greater than or equals to maximum decodable radius of primary transmitter.
