允许在供应商之间改进和无处不在地共享宝贵的无线电频谱已被许多政府机构确定为关键目标。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的方法，通过使用监管权力来促进更多的无线电频谱共享。我们开发了一个频谱补贴计划，其中提供商通过监管机构提供更便宜的频谱分配费用来激励，以换取“共享证明”。提供商将获得折扣频段，可能位于不同的位置，但将被要求为未订阅的用户提供覆盖，以维持政府的补贴激励。我们引入了一个博弈论的框架来分析这种补贴计划的优点和缺点，并探讨潜在的监管准则。
Allowing an improved and ubiquitous sharing of the precious radio spectrum among providers has been identified as a key goal by many governmental agencies. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to foster more sharing of the radio spectrum via the use of regulatory power. We develop a spectrum subsidization scheme in which providers are incentivized by cheaper spectrum allocation fees from the regulators in return for “proof-of-sharing”. The providers are offered discounted spectrum bands, potentially at different locations, but will be asked to provide coverage to users that are not subscribed to them so as to maintain their subsidy incentives from the government. We introduce a game-theoretic framework to analyze the advantages and drawbacks of such a subsidy scheme and explore potential regulatory guidelines.
