Abstract

Cognitive radio is a promising solution to the spectrum scarcity versus underutilization dilemma, which enables unlicensed users to opportunistically use the unused spectrum owned by licensed users to increase the spectrum utilization. To avoid interfering with the operation of licensed users, unlicensed users perform spectrum sensing before transmission to detect the available channels. However, the outcome of spectrum sensing may be inaccurate due to fading or shadowing. To overcome this problem, cooperation has been leveraged in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). In this chapter, we first give a brief introduction to CRNs, including fundamentals of cognitive radio, spectrum sensing, and cooperation in CRNs.
