In last 10 years, a great advancement has been done in increasing the number of wireless broadband and multimedia devices after evolution of the first-generation (1G) mobile communication system. New services and use cases have evolved using fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks, namely, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) etc. The eMBB shows enhancements in user data rates whereas URLLC is used for mission-critical and time-sensitive applications which provide low-latency and ultra-high reliability. Enabling communication between a great number of devices can be achieved by massive machine-type communications (m-MTC). The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its subset, industrial IoT (IIoT) helps to generate efficient and sustainable production using ubiquitous Internet connections [1]. Beyond 5G, the next i.e. sixth-generation (6G) communication systems plays an important role in accelerating the IOT implementation and diverse industry areas. There is a 38% annual growth rate in Internet from 2016 to 2023 [2, 3], and mobile connectivity [2] is at peak in year 2022. Over 50 million devices around the world will be connected as a part of IOT by 2030.
So, a new solution must be implemented as available frequency resources are limited in 5G demand for bandwidth increases as new applications are growing very fast and the use of mobile data traffic also increases with time. The Internet traffic in 2030 will be 5000 exabytes as per the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) [4]. So, there is a need for revision in the utilization of supplementary frequency bands for higher spectrums. There are lots of challenges that exist in using Millimeter Wave (mmW) bands which hamper its large-scale implementation such as the behavior of mmWs spreading in different directions whenever changes occur in current cellular systems, mmW bands can be affected by multiple objects due to multiple objects, Rapid fluctuations in channels due to small coherence time of mmW bands, etc. The cellular network frequency bands are shown Table 1.1.

Spectrum sharing facilitates the shared use of the spectrum as compared to a fixed allocation of spectrum where primary users can access the frequency bands with dedicated frequency portions under specific rules and conditions. Spectrum sharing may look trivial but characteristically it is very complex to implement. As Mobile Network Users (MNOs) are operating concurrently, spectrum sharing limits the activities of primary users on the band. So for participation in spectrum sharing schemes and viewing these participations, proper incentives are needed to motivate primary users that impact positive outcomes on the organization.
In literature, investigation has been done for spectrum sharing mechanism for CCN and CRSN. Review work for spectrum sharing and cognitive radio is shown in Table 1.2. The table covers description, advantages, and disadvantages of each article.

Spectrum sharing facilitated by intellectual radio networks provides a more dynamic and efficient way of spectrum utilization. Intelligent radio enables intelligent autonomous devices to opportunistically sense, optimize, and utilize spectrum availability, improving spectrum efficiency and reducing spectrum scarcity issues Through spectrum sensing is capable of identifying unused or underused spectrum bands, making them more specialized -Reduces interference for users, enabling access to privileged access [15].
Different spectrum sharing models, including underlay, overlay and interweave, address different issues and regulatory requirements. The underlay enables secondary users to broadcast simultaneously with primary users under predetermined interruption limits, while the overlay enables users at the second can opportunistically use spectrum white spaces without harmful interference Primary users rely on interwave spectrum sensing to opportunistically access spectrum when spectrum is not in use [16].
Machine learning (ML) methods play an important role in spectrum sharing capabilities for spectrum sharing, especially in spectrum sensing, decision making, and resource allocation to improve spectrum sensing accuracy, optimize resource allocation, and learning algorithms supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement serves to enhance conscious radio decision-making strategies [17].
Resource allocation in notional radio networks requires optimal allocation of spectrum, power, and other network resources to optimize system performance, ensuring adequacy and efficiency Using method-based optimization, game theory, and ML algorithms are used to improve network efficiency to solve resource allocation challenges [18].
Spectrum sharing in multi-hop/multi-tier millimeter Wave (mmWave) networks is one of the most promising methods that could notably improve capacity and efficiency in such scenarios. Indeed, multiple devices will be allowed to use the same frequency band. Thus, effective scheduling algorithms are indispensable to minimize interference among nodes and provide equal access for all nodes. A scheduling algorithm for multi-hop mmWave networks minimizing transmission time while considering blockage and interference is proposed in [19]. The algorithm efficiently deals with these problems of the factors in mmWave communications. Cross-tier scheduling scheme for multi-tier mmWave wave wireless networks proposed for work in [20] is presented. The proposed scheme aims toward optimization of resource allocation and betterment of overall network performance by coordination of transmissions across different tiers. An optimal link scheduling algorithm for mmWave wave multi-hop networks equipped with multi-user MIMO radios is proposed for work in [21]. The algorithm attempts to maximize network throughput by taking into account the complexities of mmWave propagation and interference.
Spectrum-sharing technologies are an important part of for the effective functioning of 5G networks allowing for the effective use of available radio frequency spectrum, to support the anticipated massive increase in data traffic and connections. This technology would help allow for the existence of multiple wireless communications in the same frequency band, maximize management of spectrum efficiency, and help provide and support a wide range of services from high-speed broadband to IoT devices. Here are some of the key spectrums sharing [5] technologies and approaches being utilized and developed for 5G:
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS)
DSS enables 5G services to run in the same frequency ranges as 4G LTE by dynamically distributing spectrum resources in real-time based on demand. This enables operators to deploy 5G networks more quickly and efficiently, using existing spectrum allocations without the need for clearing bands or reassigning frequencies.
Licensed Shared Access (LSA)/Spectrum Access System (SAS)
LSA and SAS are frameworks that allow access to underutilized military and government-owned spectrum to commercial users allowing the use of dynamic database and spectrum sensing technologies to temporarily allocate a spectrum to 5G operators. This also helps increase the number of spectrums available without disturbing the incumbent users.
Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)
CBRS uses a 3-tier access system to manage spectrum sharing between incumbent users, giving priority access licenses, having general authorized access for users, and promoting efficient use of spectrum while protecting from harmful interference. It is a specific implementation of SAS in the United States operated in 3.5GHz band.
Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Spectrum Sharing
The mmWave frequency is gaining popularity as 5G is expands offering vast amounts of underutilized spectrum. Various techniques can be used for sharing these high frequency bands such as beamforming and directional antennas which can spatially isolate transmission ensuring the sharing of the same frequency band without interfering with other connections.
Cognitive Radio (CR)
Cognitive radio is a relatively advanced spectrum that can enhance the spectrum by causing an increase in its efficiency and dynamic interaction. CR can sense their surroundings, locate unoccupied frequency bands, and adjust their transmission parameters in real time to maximize available spectrum without disturbing the incumbent users
Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) Operation
CoMP can be used in crowded network environments for management interference and increasing efficiency. By coordinating signal transmission and reception across multiple base stations, networks can reduce interference while increasing the overall capacity and performance of 5G services.
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA)
By using varying different power levels and signal processing techniques NOMA enables users to share the same frequency bands improving the spectral efficiency and capacity of 5G networks. It also allows for a greater number of users on the same spectrum band.
Such solutions are only part of a bigger approach to meet 5G requirements which include high data rates, low latency and capacity to serve a large number of devices at the same time. With 5G advancing and new sharing spectrum methodologies and innovations getting created, further improvement will be seen in the efficiency and performance of the wireless networks.
ML plays an important role in spectrum allocation, enabling decision-making and resource optimization in dynamic and complex wireless environments [22].
ML has been increasingly explored in the context of spectrum sharing, particularly in cognitive radio networks, where intelligent devices dynamically access and utilize available spectrum bands. Here are some existing works in this field along with references:

Integrating ML into spectrum sharing can help algorithms predict, learn, and adapt to environments. Here are a few key applications and benefits of ML in spectrum sharing and also shown in Figure 1.1:
Predictive Spectrum Management
ML can help predict demand and adapt to different spectrum environments ensuring fast spectrum allocation and dynamic sharing. This can help optimize the user experience reducing interference and improving the service for the users.
Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive Radio with the help of ML can help find the most suitable channels and frequencies in the wireless spectrum without disturbing existing users. This improves overall performance and plays a key role in the complex process that supports 5G networks.
Figure 1.1 Machine learning in spectrum sharing.
Interference Management
ML algorithms can be developed to help identify all potential sources of interference in the frequency band and develop proactive prevention strategies. This is an important feature because it makes the network more reliable by ensuring the smooth operation of various connected devices.
Enhanced Security in Spectrum Sharing
Security is an important focus as with multiple users on the same frequency range there is a chance that others with malicious intent may misuse the information. ML can be used here to ensure that no interference occurs to detect any irregular patterns and deploy a timely response to prevent the security threat.
Resource Allocation and Optimization
ML can be used to improve the system for spectrum resource allocation, optimize it for the best performance, and fine-tune it according to the user’s behavioral patterns for improved efficiency. It calculates the appropriate timing for spectrum transfer and distributing bandwidth among users.
Signal Classification and Identification
ML can identify different signals and services received and classify them, distinguishing between the primary and secondary i.e. licensed and unlicenced users respectively. This facilitates proper functioning of the spectrum and prevention of interference in the spectrum signal.
Demand-Responsive Spectrum Access
The Demand-Responsive spectrum can be enabled across the spectrum with the help of ML adjusting allocation to the spectrum in real-time based on the patterns. This supports efficient and flexible spectrum sharing and plays an important role when spectrum demand fluctuates.
Networking and radio intelligence represent two major advances in wireless communications each meeting the growing need for more efficient use of spectrum, improving network performance and increasing wireless connectivity in an age of limited resources [6, 7]. Let’s take a closer look at both concepts to understand their capabilities, benefits, and how they complement each other in today’s wireless networks.
a) Cooperative Radio Networks
Cooperative wireless networks benefit from cooperation from various network nodes by nature in improving the elements of communication reliability, coverage extension, and overall performance in a wireless network. This is an essential principle because it presupposes that the nodes of the network act as relays that assist in transferring information to and from places. Important aspects concerning radio communications include [29, 30]:
Spatial Diversity:
It makes use of varied relay node types that act as space diversities for transmitting the signals to the spectrum. This is effective in reducing fading effects and promoting signal reliability caused by the weak strength of wireless communications.
Expanded Coverage:
Relays can be applied to increase the coverage’s scope that a network offers. More so, it remains very useful for emergency situations even in hard-to-reach areas.
Enhanced Spectral Efficiency:
As such, it encourages one communication and hence bigger efficiency with less power needed for the transmission of the signals, making more use of high frequencies feasible.
Enhanced Throughput and Reliability:
By combining signals from multiple paths, cooperative networks can achieve higher throughput and lower error rates compared to non-cooperative approaches.
Cognitive Radio Networks:
Cognitive power and expertise modification of transmission parameters based on temporal spectrum and user requirements lead to an improvement in the power of access and capacity of spectrum control.
Spectrum Sensing:
Radio information operationalized that the efficient use of spectrum took advantage of access to most times, the frequency bands left unused by primary users.
Spectrum Management:
It recommends the fitting of the most frequency bands for the business and consideration in respect of required specifications as to the availability.
Spectrum Mobility:
Cognitive radios can change their frequency of operation to switch between spectrum bands, ensuring seamless communication even when the current band becomes unavailable or suboptimal.
Spectrum Sharing:
It makes it more efficient and effective in that it’s dynamic sharing between users based on a pattern of usage and demand.
Radio technology and telecommunications can be used to improve the performance through direct communication and using dynamic spectrum [8, 31, 32]. This collaboration could lead to:
Boost Spectrum Reach and Efficiency:
While technological collaboration technologies can efficiently analyze spectrum even in a complicated spectrum environment, intelligence is able to detect underutilized spectrum.
Increased Communication Dependability:
It can be attained by integrating technical expertise and coordination, which can lower interference and signal loss and improve communication.
Adaptive Network Topology:
Based on the conditions of the network and the availability of spectrum, the network can modify its topology and communication quality to optimize coverage and performance.
The creation of communications services that satisfy present needs requires the integration of radio networks and radio intelligence for high speed, reliability and efficiency. As technology continues to evolve, the integration of these two approaches will play an important role in the effective management of spectrum and distribution of wireless communications resources.
Interference mitigation gains significant importance in wireless communications due to increasing pressure on the demand for bandwidth and the proliferation of wireless devices in commercial as well as personal space. For instance, effective interference mitigation strategies are important for service delivery, spectral efficiency, and reliable communication in a congested environment [8, 9]. Following are some of the key strategies that help reduce the amount of interference in wireless networks [33, 34]:
Frequency Planning and Management
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS):
Through automatic selection of relatively less congested frequencies, DFS minimizes interference with other systems.
Spectrum Allocation:
It includes the frequency range that is being managed in such a way as to ensure there is minimal or no overlay; it has gone to the extent of assigning specific frequencies or groups of bands to different service providers or operators.
Power Control
Transmit Power Control:
In this system, the power is controlled in such a manner that one can reduce the level of interference being occasioned on other devices at the same time maintaining an acceptable quality standard of signal.
Adaptive Power Control:
Dynamically carried out by gaining the maximum link signal strength and reducing its interference in real time based on feedback of effectiveness.
Beamforming and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)
Beamforming:
It focuses patterns of the array of antennae electronic signals towards intended receivers only and makes interferences minimal to and from other unrelated ones.
MIMO:
Diversifies signals over multiple antennas at the transmitter and the destination. It uses the process of spatial multiplexing for communication that increases performance and decreases interference.
Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum Access
Spectrum Sensing:
There are techniques based on tracking spectrum holes or portions of the spectrum not being used by the licensed users and use these temporarily in such a way that there is no interference to the licensed user.
Dynamic Spectrum Access:
The system dynamically changes transmission parameters according to the spectrum environment to minimize interference.

Case studies and performance evaluations play a crucial role in understanding the effectiveness, challenges, and real-world applicability of various technologies and strategies in wireless communication, especially in areas such as spectrum sharing, interference mitigation, and the deployment of cooperative and cognitive radio networks [12]. These studies provide insights into practical implementation issues, performance metrics, and the potential for scalability and adaptation in different environments. Below are some illustrative examples of case studies and performance evaluations in these areas:
Spectrum Sharing in 5G Networks
Case Study: The performance evaluation in DSS between the military radars, including the incumbent apparatus to the satellite ground stations and the new generation of commercial 5G services, thereby utilizing the licensed spectrum. One such example of technology that uses environmental changes to dynamically change frequencies is called Cognitive Radio [35].
Performance Metrics: They include spectrum utilization efficiency, throughput, latency, and the impact on incumbent users. The performance evaluation presents one clear view of how DSAS can create effective access for a range of different users while protecting incumbents and gaining maximal commercial use of the band.

Performance Evaluation: Effectiveness through increased signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), enhanced user throughput, and improved overall network capacity. Results show that coordinated scheduling with power control is very promising in terms of efficient interference management in heterogeneous networks.
Cognitive Radio Networks for Rural Connectivity
Case Study: Deploy cognitive radio networks to provide broadband connectivity in rural areas by taking advantage of unused TV white spaces. They do so with the help of a best-way study of accessing the underutilized spectrum dynamically and with no interference to the incumbent broadcaster [37].
Performance Evaluation: Based on the coverage area, data rates at the end-user, accuracy of spectrum sensing, and the network’s ability to adapt to dynamic changes in the availability of the spectrum. Based on this case study, one can then paint a picture of just how cognitive radio technologies may perhaps end up bridging a certain digital divide concerning the provisioning of such services for remote and underserved areas.
Cooperative Communication for Emergency Response Networks
Case Study: Cooperative techniques in an emergency response scenario where traditional communication infrastructure does not exist or is compromised. Illustrates deploying a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) having relay nodes to facilitate communication among first responders [38].
Performance Evaluation: For the evaluation in these simulations, the performance metrics will be network connectivity, end-to-end latency, data throughput, and the robustness of the communication links considered over several states. The results have shown clear benefits for cooperative communication, which can achieve tangible gains in both higher reliability and coverage for mission-critical communication networks.
Network Slicing for IoT Applications
Case Study: One such new 5G network that includes the network slicing implementation to cover all sorts of IoT application support: from low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) to high throughput IIoT applications [39].
Performance Evaluation: This work evaluates the performance of IoT in meeting various levels of service-level agreements (SLAs), such as low latency, high throughput, and reliability. The study brings out the efficacy of network slicing in facilitating the accommodation of heterogeneous IoT services.
Together with its attribute metrics and its simulations, they contribute to the validation not only theoretically proposed models but also, to a great extent, empirical and performance studies done in real life. They guide ongoing research efforts and development work on how to meet the requirements of the future, i.e., how wireless communication technologies will evolve.
The wireless communication scenario is one replete with a very high level of dynamism and constant shift with the unabated changes in technology accompanied by an ever-expanding need for information, leading therefore to an unbridled desire for universal connectivity [14]. Against this background of change are several new trends and issues shaping the development and deployment of wireless networks. In this respect, it becomes essential to appreciate these trends if one is going to quantify the direction of both research and policies regarding development.
Implementation of AI and ML:
AI and ML are going to be the keystones in the optimization of the network functioning because of predictive maintenance or anomaly detection, dynamic spectrum management, and elimination of interference. However, they can help make real-time decisions from complex patterns and historical data, thus turning them efficient and reliable.
Technological Advancements in Spectrum Sharing:
Although the demand for wireless bandwidth is always rising, the use of available spectral bands becomes almost a compulsion. Advanced technologies like cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access shall be further developed so that they are made even more flexible, dynamically using the shared spectrum.
Proliferation of IoT and Machine-Type Communications:
The way the IoT is coming up so fast is introducing machine-type communications that will keep growing, hence an exponential increase in connected gadgets. This will make demands on the networks with the capacity to support massive connections of many such devices themselves, each with varying and wide-ranging requirements regarding bandwidths, latencies, and power efficiencies.
The 6G and Beyond Deployment:
World communication gurus have put their effort into researching 6G technology, and it is said that a wider range of data rates, lower delays, and communications that are more trustworthy will be expected. In achieving these massive advancements, some highly potent bleeding-edge technologies are essential for 6G; these include sub-terahertz (THz) frequencies, advanced MIMO, and intelligent reflective surfaces.
Advanced Privacy-Preserving and Security Measures:
The world gets more and more dependent upon wireless communication not only from that critical infrastructural point but also from an individual device angle. As such, the network security and privacy
