A Network Flow Based Approach for Network Selection in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks

In this paper, the authors present a network flow based approach for dynamic network and channel selection for secondary users in dynamic spectrum access networks. Most approaches in the current literature on dynamic spectrum access networks do not consider dynamic network and channel selection. They present a network flow framework for network selection. They show that their approach can enable re-assignment of networks to secondary users and also re-assignment of channels to secondary users within the same network.
