Research Abstract

The fifth-generation (5G) wireless cellular networks aim to increase the users capacities and quality of experience as well as integrating different wireless bands and modes of access. The introduction of cognitive radio technology and heterogeneous networks (HetNets) as part of the architecture of the 5G aims to efficiently reuse the available spectrum. This paper presents a two-stage framework based on matching theory and auction games with the objective of efficiently admitting secondary users in the wireless scene. At the first stage, a fast convergence matching game for the users admission problem in 5G HetNets is considered, where secondary users are associated to appropriate secondary base stations. These base stations access the available primary spectrum on behalf of its associated users in the next stage, namely a repeated modified English auction
