Spectrum Sharing in Wireless Networks

To date, commercial cellular networks and broadband providers have utilized dedicated spectrum to provide services. However, the growing difficulty in identifying new spectrum for the exclusive use of wireless networks and the length of time the reallocation process takes has precipitated a growing interest in using shared spectrum for offloading some broadband network traffic. This book covers various topics related to spectrum sharing including fairness, efficiency, and security. For each of those aspects, the authors provide models, algorithms, and protocols for next-generation spectrum-agile wireless networks.
