Auction Mechanisms for Distributed Spectrum Sharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study auction mechanisms for allocating power among a group of spread spectrum users. The users are assumed to share the bandwidth with a licensed user, or spectrum owner, which imposes a received power constraint (corresponding to a constraint on interference) at a particular measurement location. Both co-located and non-collocated receivers are considered. Each user receives a utility that is a function of the received Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). We propose two auction mechanisms for power allocation in which the spectrum owner charges for SINR and received power, respectively, and compare the associated utility and revenue achieved in some simple cases. We also derive an iterative and distributed bid updating algorithm, and specify conditions for which this algorithm converges globally to the Nash Equilibrium (NE) of the auction.

Auction-Based Spectrum Sharing
We study auction mechanisms for sharing spectrum among a group of users, subject to a constraint on the interference temperature at a measurement point. The users access the channel using spread spectrum signaling and so interfere with each other. Each user receives a utility that is a function of the received signal-to-interference plus noise ratio. We propose two auction mechanisms for alloca...
متن کاملAchieving Simultaneous Spectrum Utilization and Revenue Improvements in Practical Wireless Spectrum Auctions
Spectrum is a valuable, scarce and finite natural resource that is needed for many different applications, so efficient use of the scarce radio spectrum is important for accommodating the rapid growth of wireless communications. Spectrum auctions are one of the best-known market-based solutions to improve the efficiency of spectrum use. However, Spectrum auctions are fundamentally differen...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Multi-Attribute Continuous Double Auction Mechanisms
Auctions have been as a competitive method of buying and selling valuable or rare items for a long time. Single-sided auctions in which participants negotiate on a single attribute (e.g. price) are very popular. Double auctions and negotiation on multiple attributes create more advantages compared to single-sided and single-attribute auctions. Nonetheless, this adds the complexity of the auctio...
متن کاملReserve Price Auctions for Heterogeneous Spectrum Sharing
Spectrum auction is considered a suitable approach to efficiently allocate spectrum among unlicensed users. In a typical spectrum auction, Secondary Users (SUs) bid to buy spectrum bands from a Primary Owner (PO) who acts as the auctioneer. In this paper, unlike most existing auction mechanisms, spectrum auctions are studied in a realistic setting where channels have different qualities, and SU...
متن کاملAuction Oriented Approach for Resource Management in Grid Computing
Grid computing, emerging as a new paradigm for next-generation computing, enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed heterogeneous resources for solving large-scale problems in science, engineering, and commerce. The resources in the Grid are heterogeneous and geographically distributed. The paper demonstrates the capability of economicbased systems for wide-a...
