Abstract
A method of mitigating an interference and reducing costs resulting from a co-existence of a plurality of femtocells and a plurality of macrocells. The method groups the femtocells into groups of non-interferers based on the distances between a plurality of femtocell base stations and a cognitive radio network base station, wherein the distances are calculated based on the locations of a plurality of grouped femtocell base stations. The method accrues a revenue of the profit of the cognitive radio network base station from a plurality of K femto base stations and a plurality of I macro secondary user subscribers while paying only for a plurality of S non-interfering groups of the plurality of femto base stations plus the I macro secondary user subscriber channels.
