Cognitive radio is a new technology invented to improve the spectrum utilization by using the white space spectrum, which is licensed but not used in a specific time and space. This study deals the channel allocation implemented in different networks phenomena to improve network performance, in specific scenario, to avoid interference and achieve network throughput. Keywords: Cognitive radio;channel allocation;MAC protocol design
