Abstract
In this paper, we focus on cooperative spectrum access in a cognitive radio networks (CRN), where secondary users (SUs) serve as relays for primary users (PUs) to improve their throughput, and in return SUs can gain transmission opportunities. To optimize the overall utility of a cooperative CRN, we first investigate the cooperation between a single pair of PU and SU with Stackelberg game model, where PU determines access time allocation while SU determines relaying power for the PU. Based on the analytical results, cooperation pairing between multiple PUs and SUs is modeled as a bipartite matching problem and solved using algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate that, with the proposed schemes, overall utility for PUs and SUs can be balanced with low computational complexity.
