Game theoretical analysis of cognitive radio networks: An NCEL perspective

We provide an overview of the research activities related to game theoretical analysis of cognitive radio networks in Network Communications and Economics Lab (NCEL) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Our focus is to study how distributed and strategic users and networks interact in various new networking and business scenarios enabled by the cognitive radio technology. We will summarize the key recent research results related to hierarchical-access, dynamic exclusive use, and hybrid models. We will also highlight the research challenges for future research.
