A New Pricing Model for Next Generation Spectrum Access

Abstract

This paper focuses on spectrum management in next generation of cellular networks. Several concepts are introduced that are central to the design of spectrum management algorithms. A practically realizable candidate algorithm for spectrum pricing is introduced based on pricing models and economic concepts. A peak-load pricing scheme with combinatorial auctions is suggested. Peak-load pricing raises prices when the demand for a service is at its highest. The winners of these auctions will be decided by a winner determination algorithm. Further investigation is conducted, testing the results.
