Abstract

Bandwidth is an extremely valuable and scarce resource, and may become congested to accommodate diverse services in wireless communications. To enhance the efficiency of bandwidth usage, the concept of cognitive radio has emerged as a new design paradigm. In this paper, a new bandwidth sharing algorithm is developed for cognitive radio networks. Under dynamically changing network environments, we formulate the bandwidth sharing problem as a two-way matching game model. In addition, modified game theory is adopted to reach a near Pareto optimal solution while avoiding bandwidth inefficiency. This approach can make the system more responsive to the current network situation. With a simulation study, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme approximates an optimized solution under widely diverse traffic load intensities.
