Spectrum Markets and Sharing via Spectrum Consumption Models

Abstract

Wireless communication services and associated applications rely on the use of radio frequency resources for their operation. Due to the growth in the use of these services, spectrum management agencies and wireless service providers are determining ways to establish flexible spectrum assignment mechanisms as a means to respond in the near future to the demand for spectrum resources. The regulatory, technological and economic changes that are now driving the wireless services industry will spawn new technical and business models in wireless service provision and spectrum management practices, many of which will rely on Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) methods to enable efficient use of spectrum resources. However, the use of DSA methods also requires using policy-based mechanisms in radio devices to facilitate and control the assignment of spectrum given the wide range of communication scenarios in which there may be conflicting goals for the use of this resource (e.g. public safety vs. profit-based services).
