Abstract :

Scarcity of radio spectrum as a result of the increase in the use of the radio spectrum led to the concept of dynamic spectrum access. This work proposes a generic pricing algorithm for dynamic spectrum management in soft real time. A sealed bid auction with reserve price is proposed with the use of the concept of green payment to serve as an incentive to prioritise power efficient users. Dynamic spectrum access allows users of the radio spectrum to gain access on short term basis to the unused radio spectrum. The paper examines the need for a reserve price, its benefit to both the wireless service provider and the wireless users. Our results show how discriminatory pricing with the green payment would help energy efficient users to gain access to the spectrum at the expense of the non-efficient user. We concluded that the green payment could reduce the amount of energy saved in the system.
