In this paper, a cognitive spectrum allocation algorithm based on non-cooperative game theory is proposed. The CR spectrum allocation model was developed by modifying the traditional game model via the insertion of a time variable and a critical function. The computing simulation result shows that the improved spectrum allocation algorithm can achieve stable spectrum allocation strategies and avoid the appearance of multi-Nash equilibrium at the expense of certain sacrifices in the system utility. It is suitable for application in distributed cognitive networks in power grids, thus contributing to the improvement of the isomerism and data capacity of power communication systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a7040510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,14]],"date-time":"2014-10-14T02:13:08Z","timestamp":1413252788000},"page":"510-522","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A CR Spectrum Allocation Algorithm in Smart Grid Wireless Sensor Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Power Transmission Equipment & System Security and New Technology, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Power Transmission Equipment & System Security and New Technology, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Power Transmission Equipment & System Security and New Technology, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]},{"given":"Songnong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Power Transmission Equipment & System Security and New Technology, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"529","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2011.2166794","article-title":"Smart grid technologies: Communication technologies and standards","volume":"7","author":"Gungor","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
