Opportunistic Spectrum Access (OSA) brings new research challenges in MAC protocol design. It allows unlicensed users to share licensed spectrum in space and time with no or little interference to Primary Users (PUs). When designing an OSA MAC protocol, one of the most difficult but important proble...
