Dynamic Spectrum Leasing with User-determined Traffic Segmentation XiaojunFeng, Qian Zhang Hong Kong University of Science and Technology IEEE ICC 2013
Outline • Background • System Model and Problem Formulation • Simulation Results • Conclusions
Spectrum Scarcity and Underutilization • We almost run out of Radio spectrum • Most spectrum is underutilized actually
Spectrum Leasing • To increase spectrum utilization, the spectrum owners lease their unused band to secondary operators
Business Model • For the spectrum owner • Make profit when leasing the unused spectrum • For the secondary operator • Deploy service on the leased band and also make money • Win-Win!
Existing Works • [2] J. Zhang and Q. Zhang, “Stackelberg game for utility-based cooperative cognitive ratio networks,” in ACM MobiHoc, 2009. • [3] L. Duan, J. Huang, and B. Shou, “Cognitive mobile virtual mobile network operator: optimal investment and pricing with unreliable supply,” in IEEE INFOCOM, 2010. • [4] Y. Yi, J. Zhang, Q. Zhang, T.

Our New Observations • Secondary service deployment with hybrid spectrum • Secondary operators can use both the leased spectrum and unlicensed band (e.g. WiFi, TV white space) to deploy service • Users can determine the traffic on different band • Users can decide which band to transmit traffic
User-determined Traffic • When to transmit data, users can also determine which band they want to use
Contributions • We are the first to consider user-determined traffic segmentation in spectrum leasing • We propose the optimal spectrum investment and pricing strategy for the secondary operator under this new scenario. • We derive optimal strategies for the spectrum owner and the end users via game theoretical analysis.
Outline • Background • System Model and Problem Formulation • Simulation Results • Conclusions
Scenario • One spectrum owner • Lease a total bandwidth of with price per MHz • One secondary operator • Buy spectrum of bandwidth • Charge the end users with per Mbps for the licensed band and for the unlicensed band • end users: • has a total traffic of MB to transmit • decides the ratio of the traffic transmitted on the licensed band
Utility Functions • Spectrum owner • Secondary operator //leasing price // unlicensed band // licensed band
Utility Functions • End user’s utility • : the QoS-aware user satisfaction from the traffic • More traffic on licensed band, higher satisfaction • : the price charged by the secondary operator
Game Analysis • We leverage backward induction to derive the optimal strategies. • Stage IV: of each end user will be first derived • Stage III : The transmission price will be determined according to the users’ traffic segmentation choice • In Stage II: will be determined by the secondary operator to optimize its utility. • Stage I: The best leasing price is obtained based on the equilibrium of the sub-game
Outline • Background • System Model and Problem Formulation • Simulation Results • Conclusions
Impact of • Physical meaning of • With larger , the utility gain of the end users by transmitting traffic on the licensed band is higher • Setting • Fix MHz, , • Vary in the range of [1.1,3.0] • The total demand of the end users is in the range of [50, 300] Mbps
Benefit of Spectrum Leasing • Spectrum owner, secondary operator can benefit from spectrum leasing • Setting • Fix • Vary in the range [0, 30]
Outline • Background • System Model and Problem Formulation • Simulation Results • Conclusions
Conclusions • It is the first work considering user-determined traffic segmentation in spectrum leasing scenario. • We model and derive optimal strategies of the spectrum owner, secondary operator and end users. • We show with both analysis and extensive simulations that the utility of both the secondary operator and the end users can be increased with the proposed framework and the spectrum owner can also make a profit.
