Abstract

This chapter presents fundamental issues of cognitive radio networks (CRNs). In the first section, background of why using CRN and some conceptual descriptions about CRNs will be given, wherein interleave-type CRN, underlay-type CRN, and overlay-type CRN are detailed. In addition, current research topics, study interests, as well as challenging issues of each CRN type will be discussed. In the second section, user cooperation in CRNs will be illustrated, wherein cooperation between primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs), and cooperation among SUs, are covered, respectively. As the mainline of this monograph, we study active cooperation between PUs and SUs, which is referred to as cooperative cognitive radio networks (CCRN) in the third section. In this part, cooperation frameworks, transmission technologies, and protocol designs will be reviewed. To shed light on this very topic, the associated research directions and challenges will be discussed. Finally, state-of-the-art of CCRN is listed for the readers to have better understanding about CCRN.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For a centralized network, the PBS has the spectrum usage information of the PN. The PBS can directly decide to lease temporarily unused spectrum without getting a request from inactive PUs.

  2. 2.

    The PBS may broadcast the leasing supply message to multiple SBSs for auction, and SBSs then obtain the authority to use spectrum by spectrum bidding.
