Spectrum Trade Model Based on Voronoi Diagram

Abstract:

In wireless cognitive networks the secondary users (SU, the unlicensed user) can share the spectrum via opportunistic access and spectrum trade. The former can’t offer the reliable and steady communication, while the latter can. It is a hot topic how the primary users (PU, the licensed user) provide the resources to SUs. We propose a novel spectrum trade model based on the Voronoi diagram: V-STM, which can promise fairness and rationality of spectrum lease. We also analyze the effect of communication range and price on spectrum trade. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed model in terms of the fairness of users and the whole profit of the network.
