Preface
Cognitive radio (CR) is a revolutionary wireless communication paradigm which
releases the spectrum from shackles of authorized licenses and enables secondary
users (SUs) to opportunistically access the underutilized licensed spectrum. Due
to the great economic value of the spectrum, CR technology has also initiated the
spectrum market and promoted a lot of interesting research on spectrum trading
designs in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, existing spectrum trading
approaches mainly focus on per-user-based spectrum trading for single-hop com-
municationsandlackdeepunderstandingofmulti-hopend-to-endserviceprovision.
Correspondingly,thereisnosuchtextexclusivelyonthespectrumtradinginmulti-
hop CRNs today, leaving aspiring researchers and students in this field struggling
with limited and scattered literature and sometimes confusing terminology. The
goalofthisbookistooffersomehelpthroughaccessiblepresentationofthebasic
ideasofspectrumtradingaswellassomerelatedcutting-edgeresearchofspectrum
trading in multi-hop CRNs. The target audiences are researchers interested in CR
technologyandspectrumtradingresearch,inparticulargraduatestudents.Itisalso
ourhopethatthisbookcanbeusefultoexpertsasquickreference.
This book starts with an introduction on spectrum trading, state-of-the-art
research,andresearchchallengesforspectrumtradinginmulti-hopCRNs.Then,a
novelCRNnetworkarchitecturetailoredforspectrumtradinginmulti-hopCRNsis
introduced.UnderthisCRNarchitecture,thetransmissionopportunity(i.e.,alink-
bandpair)-basedspectrumtradingispresented,whichisbeyondtheper-user-based
spectrum trading in existing literature, and the proof of its economic robustness is
provided.Further,thisdesignisextendedintosession-basedspectrumtradingunder
uncertainspectrumsupply,andfinallyaneconomicrobustsession-basedspectrum
tradingdesignisdevelopedandillustrated.
Someofthecalculationsandproofsinvolvedaremathematicalandcanbesafely
skipped in first reading. Nevertheless, we decided to include them because they
either illustrate useful analytical skills or provide details that are missing in the
original papers. Due to the limited time, space, and of course our knowledge and
ability,thecontentofthisbookisfarfromextensive.Itonlyincludescloselyrelated
literaturesthatwearemostlyfamiliarwith.

We would like to express our greatest appreciation to Dr. Xuemin (Sherman)
Shen for providing us the opportunity of writing this short book for Springer. We
are also grateful to all our collaborators and colleagues. Finally, we would like
to thank Springer, especially Ms. Susan Lagerstrom-Fife, Ms. Jennifer Malat, Ms.
Irene Bruce, and Ms. Courtney Clark, for their support in various aspects in the
writingandpublishingofthisbook.Thebookwouldnotcomeintobeingwithout
allthoseeffortsandsupports.
