Realizing the Broker Based Dynamic Spectrum Allocation through LTE Virtualization and Uniform Auctioning

چکیده
The next generation wireless networks are envisioned to follow the philosophy of buy when required, when it comes to the CApital EXpenditure(CAPEX) of operators over the infrastructure installation or extending new and dynamic resources. The dream of open market for new entrants and their coexistence with giant operators can be realized by the fancy concept of virtualization, which will be one of the key technologies in the future networks specially in the wireless part. Future virtualized mobile networks will comprise of a large number of (small) operators all competing for the spectrum resources. Such a scenario motivates and provisions the dynamic resource trading framework. This paper aims at presenting the realization concept of a dynamic spectrum trade market of future. We use the virtualized Long Term Evolution (LTE) as a realization framework for the proposed auctioned based dynamic spectrum sharing. We also investigate the profit function of spectrum broker and operators. We also study the realization of dynamic spectrum allocation on very small time instances (seconds) and investigate how the reservation price tunes the stake-holders’ profit and resource allocation efficiency. The spectrum trade is based on the single auction multi-bid format and the paper further studies the impact of false bidding on the profit of spectrum broker (or network infrastructure provider).

Trading wireless capacity through spectrum virtualization using LTE-A
Markets for spectrum were first proposed by Ronald Coase [1] as a way to efficiently allocate this resource. It took another forty years for primary markets to be developed (in the form of spectrum auctions) as the mechanism for assigning spectrum licenses to users. It is not a secret that secondary markets would be necessary to fully realize the benefits of economic allocation of spectrum. But...
متن کاملA New Fairness Index and Novel Approach for QoS-Aware Resource Allocation in LTE Networks Based on Utility Functions
Resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in LTE networks. Most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. The great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (MOS) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. In this p...
متن کاملA Tv White-spaces Wireless Network Architecture for Efficient Spectrum Sharing in Europe, and Its Applicability for Public Safety Applications
Growing need in wireless services consumption require more spectrum and improved utilization of existing allocations. New spectrum-use policies, as well as innovative wireless technology, have to be developed and embraced if we are to avoid a major "spectrum crisis". In this context, the digital TV switchover provides a rare opportunity for the development of innovative wireless services and th...
متن کاملThe Role of Regulatory in Price Control and Spectrum Allocation to Competing Wireless Access Networks
With the rapid growth of wireless access networks, various providers offer their services using different technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wimax, 3G, 4G and so on. These networks compete for the scarce wireless spectrum. The spectrum is considered to be a scarce resource moderated by the spectrum allocation regulatory (“regulatory” for short) which is the governance body aiming to maximize the socia...
