Effective way of maximizing throughput and channel utilization in cognitive radio based on game theory

Abstract

Significant amount of research are focused on the application of game theory in effective spectrum allocation problem in cognitive radio. In this paper Shapley value algorithm has been applied for dynamic network where both authorized and unauthorized users can utilize the radio frequency at the same time with maximum throughput without interfering the authorized users. The allocation process is allowed only when a spectrum has been requested and idle spectrum is present in the network. Fair policy in the spectrum for the unauthorized users has been ensured with a universal price function. Here, results of the proposed method has been compared with other game theory.
