Written by experts in the field, this book is based on recent research findings in dynamic spectrum access for cognitive radio networks. It establishes a game-theoretic framework and presents cutting-edge technologies for distributed interference coordination. With game-theoretic formulation and the designed distributed learning algorithms, it provides insights into the interactions between multiple decision-makers and the converging stable states. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of cognitive radio networks will benefit from the book, which provides valuable information, useful methods and practical algorithms for use in emerging 5G wireless communication.

Presents the cutting-edge technologies for distributed interference coordination in dynamic spectrum access Provides novel game models and learning algorithms Presents useful methodologies and algorithms to develop game-theoretic solutions in wireless communication networks Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
