  5. Cooperative Game Theory for Distributed Spectrum Sharing • Faculty: Luiz A. DaSilva, Allen MacKenzie • Description: We utilize cooperative game theory to model situations where wireless nodes need to agree on a fair allocation of existing spectrum Find out more: J.

  6. Trustworthy Spectrum Sharing in Software Defined Radio Networks • Faculty: J.-M. Park, T. Hou, J. Reed • Funding: NSF • Description: The emergence of Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology raises new security implications. In this project, we study security issues that pose the greatest threat when an adversary is able to install malicious software or modify already installed software on an SDR, with particular focus on threats that cannot be addressed using cryptographic techniques.
