Abstract

Even with the implementation of the ‘best’ spectrum sensing techniques, the amount of spectrum resource that could be made available for the cognitive radio networks may still be grossly insufficient. Besides, there are other important resources such as transmission power and data rates that must be considered alongside the spectrum resource for a meaningful implementation of the cognitive radio networks. Just like the spectrum, these other resources for the cognitive radio networks are non-ubiquitous and may be insufficient to meet the demands and expectations of cognitive radio networks if not properly managed. It is therefore imperative to investigate the best approach to allocate, administer and/or manage these non-ubiquitous resources of the cognitive radio networks. This chapter discusses the resource allocation or administration problems of cognitive radio networks and establishes them as optimisation problems. A general representation of resource optimisation problems in cognitive radio networks is then provided. Some classical examples of resource allocation problems and problem formulations in cognitive radio networks are presented. Thereafter, the unique characteristics of the resource optimisation problems in cognitive radio networks that make them different from the resource problems of other communication networks are discussed.
