| Summary: | This paper firstly investigates the problem of uplink power control in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) with multiple primary users (PUs) and multiple second users (SUs) considering channel outage constraints and interference power constraints, where PUs and SUs compete with each other to maximize their utilities. We formulate a Stackelberg game to model this hierarchical competition, where PUs and SUs are considered to be leaders and followers, respectively. We theoretically prove the existence and uniqueness of robust Stackelberg equilibrium for the noncooperative approach. Then, we apply the Lagrange dual decomposition method to solve this problem, and an efficient iterative algorithm is proposed to search the Stackelberg equilibrium. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the performance compared with those proportionate game schemes.
