Matching theory for cognitive radio networks: An overview

Cognitive radio networks have recently emerged as a novel and efficient technology to confront the scarcity of spectrum bands. While discussing the spectrum sharing and resource management in cognitive radio networks, many recent research works address the problem from the viewpoint of matching theory. This paper provides a comprehensive study of such works. The motivation behind this paper is to understand the fundamentals and applications of matching theory in cognitive radio networks.
