The introduction of cognitive radio technology in licensed 5G networks could significantly enhance the overall system capacity and number of served users. In this context, this work discusses the admission of new cognitive radio secondary users (SUs) in the fifth generation (5G) Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) as well as the allocation of the channels over the secondary cognitive network, using a many-to-one matching game and auctions theory. Simulation results show that the used matching algorithm for users admission is of low complexity as well as the existence of a Walrasian equilibrium point for the channels allocation problem.
