“…We discuss a cognitive radio sensor network, where the nodes opportunistically try to utilize unused spectrum, irrespective of the type of cognition mechanism (underlay or overlay) and the presence of cooperation at some level is critical. Typically, the numbers of available channels are limited, which results in a competitive environment and the users make every effort to optimize their own performance [1][2][3][4][5]. This competition can be proficiently modeled as a game.…”

In wireless cognitive sensor networks, natural antagonism arises among unlicensed users when nodes opportunistically compete for unused frequency bands and the operations are seriously hampered by acute scarcity of resources. The transmitted power, which is inherently pertinent to the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), cognition methodology, and lack of central management, must be preserved for longer network lifetime. In the midst of this struggle to acquire desired frequency band, where the performance of the entire network is dependent upon the behavior and etiquette exhibited by individual nodes, it is pivotal to introduce an effective cooperation mechanism in order to improve the vital network parameters. In this paper, we employ the concepts of game theory to develop an efficient and sustainable cooperation mechanism for efficient cognition and improved spectrum utilization. The nodes exhibit autochthonous pattern in opting for spectrum choices, which results in acceptable level of cooperation and consequently improvement in spectrum utilization. In order to achieve this global benefit, the users are motivated to carefully analyze the impact of their own choice in selecting a channel for transmission and its peers.

“…Several researchers have explored the cognition phenomenon from game theoretic perspective. These include both noncooperative and cooperative games [1][2][3][4][5][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Some form of cooperation involves the use of secondary users (SUs) as relays by the primary user (PU) and setting a price for channel use [8,9].…”
