Spectrum sharing models in cognitive radio networks
Spectrum scarcity demands thinking new ways to
manage the distribution of radio frequency bands so that its use is more effective. The emerging technology that can enable this paradigm shift is the cognitive radio. Different models for
organizing and managing cognitive radios have emerged, all with specific strategic purposes. In this article we review the allocation spectrum patterns of cognitive radio networks and
analyse which are the common basis of each model.We expose the vulnerabilities and open challenges that still threaten the adoption
and exploitation of cognitive radios for open civil networks.L'escassetat de demandes d'espectre fan pensar en noves formes de gestionar la distribució de les bandes de freqüència de ràdio perquè el seu ús sigui més efectiu. La tecnologia emergent que pot permetre aquest canvi de paradigma és la ràdio cognitiva. Han sorgit diferents models d'organització i gestió de les ràdios cognitives, tots amb determinats fins estratègics. En aquest article es revisen els patrons d'assignació de l'espectre de les xarxes de ràdio cognitiva i s'analitzen quals són la base comuna de cada model. S'exposen les vulnerabilitats i els desafiaments oberts que segueixen amenaçant l'adopció i l'explotació de les ràdios cognitives per obrir les xarxes civils.La escasez de demandas de espectro hacen pensar en nuevas formas de gestionar la distribución de las bandas de frecuencia de radio para que su uso sea más efectivo.

HySIM: A Hybrid Spectrum and Information Market for TV White Space Networks
We propose a hybrid spectrum and information market for a database-assisted
TV white space network, where the geo-location database serves as both a
spectrum market platform and an information market platform. We study the
inter- actions among the database operator, the spectrum licensee, and
unlicensed users systematically, using a three-layer hierarchical model. In
Layer I, the database and the licensee negotiate the commission fee that the
licensee pays for using the spectrum market platform. In Layer II, the database
and the licensee compete for selling information or channels to unlicensed
users. In Layer III, unlicensed users determine whether they should buy the
exclusive usage right of licensed channels from the licensee, or the
information regarding unlicensed channels from the database. Analyzing such a
three-layer model is challenging due to the co-existence of both positive and
negative network externalities in the information market. We characterize how
the network externalities affect the equilibrium behaviours of all parties
involved. Our numerical results show that the proposed hybrid market can
improve the network profit up to 87%, compared with a pure information market.
Meanwhile, the achieved network profit is very close to the coordinated
benchmark solution (the gap is less than 4% in our simulation).Comment: This manuscript serves as the online technical report of the article

Wireless Broadband Access: Policy Implications of Heterogeneous Networks
A wireless heterogeneous network can help increase the access transmission speed and contribute thereby to the broadband deployment policies of administrations and telecommunications operators. Given the technical particularities of wireless heterogeneous networks, the deployment of wireless heterogeneous networks raises a number of challenges that need to be addressed by regulatory authorities. This article analyses the following regulatory implications: standardisation and technology neutrality, spectrum management, market analysis, open access and infrastructure sharing, interconnection pricing and charging, broadband deployment policies, and privacy and security issues. --4G,heterogeneous networks,cooperative networks,spectrum management,regulation,wireless networks
