Resource Allocation Models for Cognitive Radio Networks: A Study

Abstract

In this paper, resource allocation models for cognitive radio networks (CRN) using game theory are presented. The study includes the concept of cognitive radio (CR) networks, cooperative and non-cooperative game theory, and modeling of strategic interaction process for CR enabled secondary users. The prime objective of the present study is to compare existing game models for CR networks in terms of concept, approach, system model, and issues associated with each model. At last, conclusion for implementing game models in the cognitive radio networks for effective management of available radio resources is given to provide direction to researchers for future work.
