In such a net- work, we derive an analytical expression for the connection probability, transmission rate, and energy efficiency of a secondary network in a single-tier downlink scenario, consider- ing the probabilities of unoccupied channel selection and of successful transmission, where source-destination pairs are randomly located according to Poisson point processes. More- over, we approach the problem of optimization of transmission rate and energy efficiency using a required connection probability constraint to improve the system performance. Our numerical results indicate that there exists an optimal combination of transmission power and secondary transmitter density where transmission rate and energy efficiency are maximized.
