This SpringerBrief focuses on spectrum trading designs in multi-hop cognitive radio networks.
It starts with the motivation for spectrum trading and the review of existing spectrum trading
designs. Then it presents a novel CRN architecture for spectrum trading considering spectrum
trading's economic features and wireless nature. Under this network architecture it extends
current single-hop per-user based spectrum trading design into a multi-hop transmission
opportunity based one and further into a session based one while having economic properties
guaranteed. This SpringerBrief not only provides a good review of current spectrum trading
designs it also touches on the cutting-edge interdisciplinary spectrum trading research on
disparate fields of modeling network architecture design optimization theories statistics
and economic theories. Advanced-level students studying computer science electrical and
computer engineering and economics wireless network planners and wireless spectrum engineers
will find this book a useful tool.
