To improve the frequency utilization rate in WSN, a spectrum management system for WSN combined with cloud computing technology should be considered. From the optimization point of view, the study of dynamic spectrum management can be divided into three kinds of methods, including Nash equilibrium, social utility maximization, and competitive economy equilibrium. In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm based approach to allocate the power spectrum dynamically. The objective is to maximize the sum of individual Shannon utilities with the background interference and crosstalk consideration. Compared to the approach in [1], the experimental result shows better balance between efficiency and effectiveness of our approach.展开更多

Firstly, a dynamic update mechanism of SI based on spectrum opportunity incentive is established, in which spectrum users are encouraged to actively assist the database to update SI in real time. Secondly, the information update contribution(IUC) of spectrum opportunity is defined to describe the cost of accessing spectrum opportunity for heterogeneous spectrum users, and the profit of SI update obtained by the database from spectrum allocation. The process that the database determines the IUC of spectrum opportunity and spectrum user selects spectrum opportunity is mapped to a Hotelling model. Thirdly, the process of determining the IUC of spectrum opportunities is further modelled as a Stackelberg game by establishing multiple virtual spectrum resource providers(VSRPs) in the database. It is proved that there is a Nash Equilibrium in the game of determining the IUC of spectrum opportunities by VSRPs. Finally, an algorithm of determining the IUC based on a genetic algorithm is designed to achieve the optimal IUC. The-oretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method can quickly find the optimal solution of the IUC, and ensure that the spectrum resource provider can obtain the optimal profit of SI update.展开更多

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled MA techniques, emphasizing their roles in Spectrum Sensing (SS), Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA), user scheduling, interference mitigation, and protocol adaptation. In particular, we systematically analyze the progression of traditional and modern MA schemes, from Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA)-based approaches like Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) to advanced Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) methods, including power domain-NOMA, Sparse Code Multiple Access (SCMA), and Rate Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA). The study further categorizes AI techniques—such as Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Reinforcement Learning (RL), Federated Learning (FL), and Explainable AI (XAI)—and maps them to practical challenges in Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM), protocol optimization, and real-time distributed decision-making. Optimization strategies, including metaheuristics and multi-agent learning frameworks, are reviewed to illustrate the potential of AI in enhancing energy efficiency, system responsiveness, and cross-layer RA. Additionally, the review addresses security, privacy, and trust concerns, highlighting solutions like privacy-preserving ML, FL, and XAI in 6G and beyond. By identifying research gaps, challenges, and future directions, this work offers a structured resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to integrate AI into 6G MA systems for intelligent, scalable, and secure wireless communications.展开更多

By introducing an intelligent agent, each RAN has the ability, which includes trading information exchanging, final decision making, and so on, to trade the spectrum with other RANs. The proposed inter-operator spectrum sharing mechanism is modeled as an infinite-horizon bargaining game with incomplete information, and the resulting bargaining game has unique sequential equilibrium. Consequently, the implementation is refined based on the analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism outperforms the conventional fixed spectrum management （FSM） method in network revenue, spectrum efficiency, and call blocking rate.展开更多

We extend the model by taking into account the power control strategy to avoid interference among secondary users and adapt dynamic topology. We formulate the optimization problem encompassing the channel allocation,power control with the interference constrained below a tolerable limit. The optimization objective with two different optimization strategies focuses on the routes rather than the links as in traditional approaches. A heuristic solution to this nondeterministic polynomial (NP)-hard problem is presented,which performs iterative channel allocation according to the lowest transmission power that guarantees the link connection and makes channel reuse as much as possible,and then the transmission power of each link is maximized to improve the channel capacity by gradually adding power level from the lowest transmission power until all co-channel links cannot satisfy the interference constraints. Numerical results show that our proposed strategies outperform the existing spectrum assignment algorithms in the performance of both the total network bandwidth and minimum route bandwidth of all routes,meanwhile,saving the transmission power.展开更多
