The main challenges of cognitive radio include spectrum sensing at the physical (PHY) layer
to detect the activity of primary users and spectrum sharing at the medium access control …

Coordination is a central problem whenever stations (or nodes or users) share resources
across a network. In the absence of coordination, there will be collision, congestion or …

Communication networks' energy consumption poses a considerable threat to the
environment stability. The expansion of access networks, which constitute the main …
