Dramatic changes in the ways wireless spectrum is allocated and utilized are needed to support the projected growth in mobile broadband access. This will require both innovations in new technologies as well as in the market structures used to deploy these technologies. These two issues are inherently joined.New wireless technologies will establish the "ground rules", which govern how markets for spectrum access can operate. Market structures will determine which technologies are deployed and the resulting economic benefit.The cross-disciplinary study of such market structures and the related spectrum sharing technologies is the focus on this project. Market models are being developed that take into account both the economic incentives of service providers as well as basic wireless networking considerations such as the management of interference. These models are being used to determine the effect of market structures on incentives for pricing, trade, and investment in new technologies and infrastructure, entry barriers, and competitive forces.A range of spectrum sharing scenarios are considered including allowing for open access to spectrum bands, capacity sharing among providers and trading licenses on a spot market. A parallel goal of the project is to publicize the potential benefits and challenges associated with spectrum markets to the broader communications and networking communities.

无线频谱的分配和利用方式需要发生巨大变化，以支持移动的宽带接入的预期增长。这将需要在新技术以及用于部署这些技术的市场结构方面进行创新。这两个问题是内在联系在一起的，新的无线技术将建立“基本规则”，支配频谱接入市场如何运作。市场结构将决定采用何种技术以及由此产生的经济效益，对这种市场结构和相关频谱共享技术的跨学科研究是本项目的重点。正在开发的市场模式既考虑到服务提供商的经济激励，也考虑到干扰管理等基本无线网络考虑因素。这些模型被用来确定市场结构对新技术和基础设施的定价、贸易和投资激励、进入壁垒和竞争力的影响。一系列频谱共享场景被考虑，包括允许开放频谱频段、供应商之间的容量共享和在现货市场上交易许可证。该项目的一个平行目标是向更广泛的通信和网络社区宣传频谱市场的潜在好处和挑战。
