Since wireless spectrum is a non-renewable resource, how to improve the spectrum utilization is always the problem to be resolved by wireless communication technology. With the development of wireless communication technology, the contradiction between supply and demand for spectrum resource has been more and more intense. In this case, cognitive radio technology emerged. The traditional list-colouring algorithm aims at maximizing the number of allocated bandwidth; CSGC algorithm (Colour Sensitive Graph Colouring algorithm) is to achieve the maximum benefits of bandwidth for the cognitive users; local bargaining algorithm is an improved algorithm on time complexity based on CSGC. However, the three algorithms do not take the bandwidth demand of cognitive users into consideration. Even with the proportion allocation of CSGC algorithm, the problem of ill-considered for the bandwidth demands of cognitive users also exists, which results in irrational allocation of spectrum resources. To solve this problem, this article proposes a priority order with the consideration of cognitive users in spectrum allocation based on advanced users.
