LYRIC: Local Recall-Based Dynamic Double Spectrum Auction Mechanism With Heterogeneous-Demand Secondary Users

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the problem of recall mechanism in a dynamic spectrum auction system. The licensed spectrum holders (SHs) can auction their idle channels to the secondary wireless service providers (SWSPs) for economic incentive. However, the primary user (PU) of an SH has higher priority than the SWSPs for the spectrum access. To deal with a sudden increase in PUs’ spectrum demands after auction and guarantee their quality of services (QoS), we propose a Local recall-based dYnamic double spectRum auctIon meChanism (LYRIC) for SHs’ spectrum auction operation. Different from the most existing approaches about spectrum recall-based spectrum auction, the proposed spectrum auction method for heterogeneous spectrum transaction takes account of the joint effect of heterogeneous demand , spectrum spatial reusability , and the economic efficiency . Simulation results show that the proposed LYRIC algorithm can improve the auction process of SHs, the channels utilization efficiency and the average buyers’ satisfactory level with guarantees on the QoS of PUs.
