Spectrum访问系统（SAS）正在成为管理无线电频谱共享的主要机制。 SAS的设计取决于频谱财产权的规范和执行这些权利的治理体系。当前对SAS设计的观点过于限制，狭窄地集中在技术组件上，而没有充分考虑社会技术因素，这将影响任何SAS设计的成功。在本文中，我们将有关公共资源管理（CPR）管理的社会科学文献应用于SAS的设计挑战。迄今为止，过多的讨论集中在光谱权设计空间过于简单的表征上，这是有执照诉无牌照，Markets诉政府和独家诉Open之间的二分法选择。 CPR框架迫使考虑更广泛的设计选项，将Spectrum财产权的规格定位在多维式捆绑包中。 CPR框架强调了在设计资源管理系统时，考虑正式和非正式的，多层的机构和市场互动的重要性。我们将解释这如何导致人们将SAS视为多中性治理系统（使用CPR文献中的术语）。通过研究频谱共享的经济和社会背景，我们断言这些新兴系统必须足够灵活以适应各种形式的资源治理，这是指在利益相关者之间分配权利，如何强制执行这些权利以及如何管理资源的过程。我们说明如何在SAS架构原型中实现CPR文献的见解。
Spectrum Access Systems (SAS) are emerging as a principal mechanism for managing the sharing of radio spectrum. The design of the SAS depends on the specification of spectrum property rights and the governance system by which those rights are enforced. Current perspectives on SAS design have been too limited, focusing narrowly on the technical components without adequate consideration of socio-technical factors that will impact the likely success of any SAS design. In this paper, we apply the social science literature on the management of common pool resources (CPR) to the design challenge for the SAS. Heretofore, too much of the discussion has focused on an overly simplistic characterization of the spectrum rights design space as a dichotomous choice between licensed v. unlicensed, markets v. government, and exclusive v. open. The CPR framework forces consideration of a wider class of design options, positioning the specifications of spectrum property rights more appropriately along a multi-dimensional continuum of rights bundles. The CPR framework highlights the importance of considering formal and informal, multi-layered institutional and market-based interactions among SAS stakeholders when designing a resource management system. We will explain how this leads one to view the SAS as a polycentric governance system (using the terminology in the CPR literature). By examining the economic and social context of spectrum sharing, we assert that these emerging systems must be sufficiently flexible to adapt to various forms of resource governance, which refers to the process by which rights are distributed among stakeholders, how those rights are enforced, and how the resource is managed. We illustrate how the insights from the CPR literature might be implemented in a prototype SAS architecture.
