Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce a trust-aware cooperation scheme to facilitate the cooperation and SU selection in an unfriendly environment, whereby the primary users (PUs) choose trustworthy partners as relays to improve throughput or energy efficiency. Specifically, the cooperation involves a PU selecting the most suitable secondary user (SU) to relay its message and giving the selected SU spectrum access right as a reward, taking the trustworthiness of SUs into consideration. While the SU, being starved for transmission opportunities, chooses a suitable power level for cooperation and its own transmission. The proposed cooperative strategy, including partner selection, time slot allocation and power allocation in an unfriendly environment, are analyzed. Numerical results demonstrate that, with the proposed scheme, the PU can achieve higher throughput or energy saving through cooperation with the trustworthy SU.
