Abstract :
The scarcity of spectrum resources and the desire to improve spectrum efficiency have led to extensive research and development in recent years in such concepts as dynamic spectrum access/sharing, open access, and secondary (spot or short-term) spectrum market. The secondary spectrum market allows the primary (spectrum owner) to sell/share underutilized spectrum to potential buyers so as to maximize usage of spectrum, e.g., using the auction mechanism [1], [2], [3]. In this paper, we propose a framework similar to [4] where the sellers propose contracts to the secondary spectrum buyers.
