A Dynamic Auction for Spectrum Sharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a dynamic auction for sharing wireless spectrum between a primary high power user and one or more secondary low power users. The good being auctioned is transmission power which can be either allocated to the secondary users for transmission or bought by the primary user to reduce her interference. In this setting, the primary user may have a non-concave valuation, which prohibits applying standard dynamic auctions. Moreover, a policy concern in such settings is often to prevent collusion and fraudulent bidding. Hence, Vickrey mechanisms may not provide the right incentives. We present a mechanism that selects a core outcome that minimizes the seller revenue. Such an allocation is efficient in equilibrium, limits the incentives to use shills, maximizes incentives for truthful bidding, and is incentive compatible when the Vickrey outcome is in the core.

Secure Combinatorial Auctions by Dynamic Programming with Polynomial Secret Sharing
Combinatorial auctions have recently attracted the interests of many researchers due to their promising applications such as the spectrum auctions recently held by the FCC. In a combinatorial auction, multiple items with interdependent values are sold simultaneously and bidders are allowed to bid on any combination of items. This paper presents a method for implementing several secure combinato...
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 کاملAn Auction Approach to Spectrum Management in HetNets
The growing demand in mobile Internet access calls for high capacity and energy efficient cellular access with better cell coverage. The in-band relaying solution, proposed in LTE-Advanced, improves coverage without requiring additional spectrum for backhauling, making its deployment more economical and practical. However, in-band relay without careful management incurs low spectrum utilization...
متن کاملRevenue Maximization in a Spectrum Auction for Dynamic Spectrum Access
In this paper, we consider the revenue maximization problem in auctions for dynamic spectrum access. We assume a frequency division method of spectrum sharing with a primary spectrum owner that can divide the available spectrum into sub-bands and sell them to secondary users. We assume that a secondary user’s utility function is linear in the rate it can achieve by using the spectrum. We presen...
