In this paper, we study the throughput and delay in wireless cognitive social networks. Specifically, we consider a common scenario for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) where the primary and secondary networks operate at the same time and space and share the spectrum. On this basis, we integrate a social relationship into the CRN where each source node selects its destination upon a rank-based model, which captures the social characteristic well. By applying a cellular time-division multiple-access scheduling scheme, we first characterize the distinct traffic pattern caused by the social relationships between nodes. Then, we derive the achievable throughput and delay for both primary and secondary networks under the new network setting. In addition, we also study the cognitive social networks with infrastructure where l = O-1 (n) base stations are regularly deployed within the primary network. Given a probabilistic routing strategy, throughput of the proposed network is recalculated. Particularly, due to the social relationships between nodes, we reveal that a larger l is required if we expect a significant capacity gain within the primary network compared with previous works.
