Abstract

Future wireless systems are expected to be characterized by the coexistence of different radio access technologies (RATs) resulting in complex heterogeneous wireless environments. In parallel with this, the tremendous demand for spectrum has inspired the requirement of dynamic spectrum management (DSM). This paper aims at designing a cell based dynamic spectrum management (CBDSM) scheme to enhance the spectrum utilization and maximize the profit of operators in wireless heterogeneous networks. The system architecture and the functional modules supporting the CBDSM scheme are designed. As a fundamental issue in spectrum management, the inter-system interference issue is solved in the proposed CBDSM scheme. Furthermore, game theory, which is a potential tool for studying the distributed autonomous resource optimization algorithms, is applied to design a spectrum trading algorithm enabling the heterogeneous wireless networks to dynamically trade spectrum and to share the profit. In the algorithm, we take into account the economic value of the spectrum of wireless systems in order to guarantee the rationality for the spectrum trading. The simulation results show that the proposed CBDSM scheme effectively improves the spectrum utilization and the profit of operators while it reduces the mutual interference between wireless networks to a tolerable level.
