Optimal Mixed Spectrum Auction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work studies the revenue-maximizing auction of a single block of spectrum that can be awarded either for exclusive licensed use by one operator or reserved for unlicensed use. A number of operators bid for exclusive licensed use and a group of non-colluding agents bid to keep the spectrum unlicensed. The revenue of this auction is compared to that of a Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction and that of another auction recently proposed.

Achieving 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 کاملOptimal Auction Mechanism for Spectrum Allocation in Cognitive Radio Networks under Uncertain Spectrum Availability
In this paper, we consider the problem of dynamic spectrum allocation in cognitive radio (CR) networks and propose a new sealed-bid auction framework to address the spectrum allocation problem when the spectrum is not available with certainty. In our model, we assume that the moderator plays the dual role of being a fusion center (FC) for spectrum sensing and an auctioneer for spectrum allocati...
متن کاملTruthful Auction Mechanism for Heterogeneous Spectrum Allocation in Wireless Networks
Secondary spectrum auction is widely applied in wireless networks for mitigating the spectrum scarcity. In a realistic spectrum trading market, the requests from secondary users often specify the usage of a fixed spectrum frequency band in a certain geographical region and require a duration time in a fixed available time interval. Considering the selfish behaviors of secondary users, it is imp...
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 کاملTruthful Spectrum Auctions With Approximate Social-Welfare
In cellular networks, a recent trend is to make spectrum access dynamic in the spatial and temporal dimensions, for the sake of efficient utilization of spectrum. In such a model, the spectrum is divided into channels and periodically allocated to competing base stations using an auction-based market mechanism. An efficient auction mechanism is essential to the success of such a dynamic spectru...
