Abstract:
This paper presents a novel application of
a market-based spectrum assignment mechanism for exploitation
by cognitive radio systems. Advances in DSA
policy mean that regulators are moving towards a more
liberalised system of spectrum rights which give more
freedom to spectrum users to choose the radio and
networking technologies, services and frequencies that suit
their technical and economic needs. The paper describes
a combinatorial clock auction mechanism that allows for
the trade of spectrum rights in the context of an OFDMAbased
cognitive wireless network.
While governments can use complex and cumbersome
auctions to sell off large blocks of spectrum at the macro
level, it will be necessary to employ cognitive wireless
networks to organise the distribution of such spectrum
rights at the network level. Cognitive functionality is
important so that DSA-enabled wireless networks can
understand the regulatory, technical and economic context
within which they find themselves. The combinatorial clock
auction is a mechanism that will facilitate the multilateral
trade of spectrum rights among competing cognitive
radios.
