Abstract:

In this paper, we propose power budget allocation algorithms for bidding of auctions in cooperation-based spectrum leasing. The cooperation-based spectrum leasing allows secondary users to dynamically access licensed bands while providing the benefit of cooperative diversity to primary users as a reward. For efficient allocation of the licensed bands to the secondary users, a second-price based multiple auction mechanism is considered. In this mechanism, the secondary users select bands which they want to use and calculate bids for those bands, under a limited transmit power. For the optimal solution of the bidding problem, however, computational complexity increases exponentially with the number of bands. To overcome this problem, we find feasibility conditions for band selection and propose a suboptimal algorithm. The suboptimal algorithm makes bids consisting of the maximum achievable rates for cooperative transmissions. Simulation results show that the primary and secondary users achieve significantly increased achievable rates through spectrum leasing with the proposed algorithms. It is also shown that the performance of the suboptimal algorithm approaches that of the optimal solution as the invested power budget increases.

I. Introduction

Recently, the demand for radio spectrum resources in wireless networks has significantly increased due to the deployment of new wireless applications. In order to better utilize scarce radio spectrum resources, cognitive radio (CR) has drawn great attention as a promising technique [1], [2]. The CR system is aware of the ambient radio environments and adapts its radio operating behavior. This agility has naturally led to the CR being seen as an enabling platform to realize dynamic spectrum access (DSA). In a CR-based DSA network, secondary (unlicensed) users can dynamically share the licensed spectrum, using three possible approaches: open sharing, hierarchical access and dynamic exclusive use [3]. Open sharing advocates a model where all users have equal rights to share the spectrum of unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical bands. Hierarchical access supports opportunistic access for secondary users to the licensed spectrum while limiting or avoiding interference to the primary (licensed) system. In contrast to other approaches, dynamic exclusive use allows inter-operations between secondary users and the primary system that owns the spectrum usage rights.
