4 Spectrum Trading with Insurance in Cognitive Radio Networks Motivations Motivations I The transmission between a secondary Rx and Tx is successful if the SINR at the Rx satisfies: γ= Recieved power α N0 + Is s + Ip s 4/46

5 Spectrum Trading with Insurance in Cognitive Radio Networks Motivations Motivations I The transmission between a secondary Rx and Tx is successful if the SINR at the Rx satisfies: γ= Recieved power α N0 + Is s + Ip s I γ < α = Transmission failure. 4/46

6 Spectrum Trading with Insurance in Cognitive Radio Networks 5/46 Motivations Motivations Negativity of transmission failure on spectrum efficiency: A secondary user s utility: ( u1, if γ α (Successful transmission) u = u 2, if γ < α (Failed transmission) A secondary user s expected utility: E{u} = `1 p{γ < α} u 1 + p{γ < α}( u 2) Potential transmission failure undermines spectrum efficiency, since it makes SUs better off if they do not partake in spectrum trading.

7 Spectrum Trading with Insurance in Cognitive Radio Networks 6/46 Motivations Motivations Can insurance be the solution to alleviate such a negative effect? Examples: travel insurance, home insurance, auto insurance and.

8 Spectrum Trading with Insurance in Cognitive Radio Networks 7/46 Motivations Motivations With insurance contract C = (λ, θ): A secondary user s utility: ( u u1 λ, if γ α = θ u 2, if γ < α A secondary user s expected utility: E{u } =`1 p{γ < α} (u 1 λ)+ p{γ < α}(θ u 2) >E{u}?
