Abstract
The evolution of the cognitive radio network theory often presents
economics-based methods and free market principles in the administration
of network functioning. We present here, an application of the
agent-based model in the case of an economy consisting of five primary
users and secondary users (SUs) uniformly distributed in the linear
region. We show that the price-based demand evolution and price
competition play a significant role only in an ``economizable{''}
network loading band, while in both the low-loading and the over-loading
state, the market rules fail. On the contrary, in the economizable
loading state, the price competition, demand sensitivity and specific
SUs' locations work well, underpinning the known economic rules.
