Dynamic spectrum access is envisioned as a promising paradigm for addressing the spectrum under-utilization problem. According to the recent ruling of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for white-space spectrum access, white-space devices are required to query a geo-location database to determine the spectrum availability. This chapter adopts a game theoretic approach for the self-organizing white-space spectrum access network design. This chapter first models the distributed channel selection problem among the devices as a distributed spectrum access game, and shows that the game is a potential game. This chapter then designs a self-organizing spectrum access algorithm which can achieve a Nash equilibrium of the game without any information exchange among the devices. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is efficient and can adapt to the dynamical network context changing.
