Abstract
This paper focuses on spectrum management in next generation cellular networks that employ coordinated dynamic spectrum access (DSA). In our model, a spectrum broker controls and provides time-bounded access to a band of spectrum to wireless service providers and/or end users and implements the spectrum pricing and allocation schemes and policies. We introduce several concepts that are central to the design of spectrum management algorithms. These include: (1) demand processing model (batched vs. online), (2) spectrum pricing models (merchant mode, simple bidding, and iterative bidding), (3) different network infrastructure options such as shared base stations with collocated antennas, non-shared base stations with collocated antennas, and non-shared base stations and non-collocated antennas, and (4) important spectrum management concepts of scope, access fairness, "stickiness" and spectrum utilization. Based on these concepts, we investigate practically realizable candidate algorithms for spectrum allocation for homogeneous CDMA networks
