Cooperative Spectrum Sensing and Resource Allocation Strategies in Cognitive Radio Networks

The book "Cooperative Spectrum Sensing and Resource Allocation Strategies in Cognitive Radio Networks" offers a comprehensive analysis of cognitive radio networks (CRN) and their optimization strategies. It addresses the fundamentals of cognitive access in the radio spectrum and highlights the benefits of cooperative spectrum sensing. The first part of the book introduces the topic and describes a framework for investigation under realistic channel conditions. New closed-form expressions for the average false alarm probability and the average detection probability are derived. Additionally, innovative approaches to reduce the computational complexity of the proposed models are discussed. The second part focuses on the systematics of resource management in CRN, including a comprehensive overview of optimization strategies. Special attention is given to device-to-device (D2D) communication and the application of advanced geometric water-filling methods for optimal resource allocation in this context. The book is aimed at a broad audience, including students and professionals.
