The radio spectrum is one of the most precious resources which must be managed
to ensure efficient access for the wireless communication services which use it. The
allocation and management of spectrum are administered by the regulatory
authorities. Traditionally, spectrum allocation is carried out exclusively of its use in
large geographic areas and assigning frequency bands to specific users or service
providers is proved to be inefficient. Recently, substantial knowledge about
dynamic spectrum access scheme has been accumulated to enable efficient spectrum
sharing.
