Abstract: There exist two well-known cooperation mechanisms in cognitive radio networks (CRNs): the cooperation among secondary users for collaborative spectrum sensing, and the cooperation between primary and secondary users for cooperative relaying. In this talk, I will report our recent results on cooperative spectrum sensing and multihop relaying in CRNs. Deviated from the existing research we consider a scenario in which each secondary user has the freedom to decide whether or not to participate in cooperative spectrum sensing. Such a mechanism can conserve the energy for spectrum sensing at a risk of scarifying the spectrum sensing performance. We will address the following two questions based on evolutionary game and coalitional game: “which action (contributing to spectrum sensing or not) to take?” and “which channel to sense?” In cooperative multihop relaying, we will discuss a cooperation framework that considers spectrum sharing in both the time and the frequency domain, allowing relays to forward the primary traffic and to send their secondary traffic at the same time without interfering with the primary users. Within this framework, the multi-hop relay selection problem is formulated as a network formation game, in which the multi-hop relay path is computed via performing the primary player’s strategies in the form of link operations. The performance validation of our design will also be reported.
