Preface

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are envisaged to solve the problem of spectrum scarcity, caused by the current spectrum allocation policy in which only licensed users have channel access rights. In CRNs, unlicensed users are allowed to opportunistically use the idle spectrum bands owned by licensed users to
