Abstract
This dissertation addresses two important issues in cooperative cognitive radio networks: spectrum sensing in physical layer and dynamic resource allocation in MAC layer. The goal of spectrum sensing is to find the vacant spectrum bands opportunistically and have them accumulated in a spectrum pool. In the MAC layer the detected bands are allocated to the Secondary Users (SUs) dynamically to take the best advantage of the temporarily granted resources.
