Abstract :
This paper considers sharing wireless spectrum via licensed secondary access in which a single firm has an exclusive license for secondary use of a spectrum band. Building on previous work modeling competition among wireless service providers, we study competition between primary and secondary firms with this type of sharing, and characterize its impact on social welfare, consumer welfare and firm profits.
