However, the fully cooperative scenario may not be realistic to assume in many cases. We consider a cognitive radio network with heavy traffic users and light traffic users and analyze their behavior towards sensing using the concept of mixed strategy Nash equilibrium. Further, we design a distributed game using evolutionary game theory such that as long as light traffic users are present, they share the sensing responsibility while heavy traffic users get a free ride. Finally, the evolution dynamics is shown to converge to the evolutionarily stable strategy for the case of multiple users.}, year = {2010}, journal = {3rd International Workshop on Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management}, publisher = {IEEE}, isbn = {978-1-4244-8132-3}, editor = {IEEE}, }
