Brokering and Pricing Architecture over Cognitive Radio Wireless Networks

In the last decades, the development of the mobile telecommunication industry has triggered the increase of demand for wireless spectrum. Dynamic spectrum management (DSM) concept has been emerged with the development of cognitive radio technologies just to enable efficient utilization of the scarce spectrum. However, DSM will provide significant economic and social benefits only if it becomes widely utilized. For this to occur, the next generation wireless market itself must evolve. This paper analyzes a novel brokering architecture for next generation cognitive radio-based communication platform. We develop a simple competitive economic model among the players of our proposed architecture.
