Abstract

In this paper, a graph coloring-based spectrum allocation algorithm in cognitive radio networks combined with analytic hierarchy process is proposed. By analyzing several key factors that affect the quality of the leased spectrum, the algorithm combines the graph algorithm and analytic hierarchy process to assign the optimal spectrum to cognitive users orderly. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the network efficiency compared with original algorithms and arose inconspicuous loss to the whole network’s fairness. The proposal not only improves the efficiency of spectrum allocation, but also balances the requirements of the overall fairness of cognitive radio networks.
