Licensed Shared Access (LSA) is a new concept proposed by the radio spectrum policy group in order to optimize usage: Mobile Network Operator (MNO) can access temporarily other incumbent's after obtaining license. The licensing process made via an auction mechanism. mechanisms literature for LSA context are one-shot which allocate all available as unique block. In this paper, we first show how increase performance of those auctions (in terms revenue, efficiency and fairness allocation) while preserving truthful bidding, splitting converting single block into multi-block auctions. Simulation results illustrate appropriately choosing number blocks allows aforementioned metrics. Second, convert equivalent ascending allocations payments) so that add transparency privacy auction.
