A novel two stage dynamic spectrum sharing scheme in cognitive radio networks
In order to enhance the efficiency of spectrum utilization and reduce communication overhead in spectrum sharing process, we propose a two stage dynamic spectrum sharing scheme in which cooperative and non cooperative modes are analyzed in both stages. In particular, the existence and the uniqueness of Nash Equilibrium (NE) strategies for noncooperative mode are proved. In addition, a distributed iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal solutions of the scheme. Simulation studies are carried out to show the performance comparison between two modes as well as the system revenue improvement of the proposed scheme compared with a conventional scheme without a virtual price control factor.
