Awards 2332054 and 2332055 fund collaboration between an economist and two electrical engineers who want to use insights from mechanism design to develop ways to share spectrum in the 6 GHz band. The project applies fundamental economic models to analyze markets for shared spectrum. The team will characterize the economic outcomes under different market structure and different spectrum sharing paradigms. This work is tightly coupled with analysis of the institutional and regulatory challenges of enabling market friendly spectrum sharing. Access to wireless spectrum is increasingly important for U.S. economic growth. In order to meet the ever growing demands for this resource, new spectrum sharing paradigms are needed and these paradigms need to be economically sound. This project is addressing this pressing need. If successful in enabling greater access to spectrum it will have broad impacts across society, including helping to close the digital divide, enabling new business to emerge, and improving productivity of existing businesses.This research project includes three distinct stages. Work funded by a different NSF award has established the COSMOS-NRDZ effort, which seeks to design a spectrum Zone Management System (ZMS) to enable interference-aware spectrum sharing. This approach is based in part on using the Spectrum Consumption Model (SCM) framework standardized in IEEE 1900.5.2. SCMs provide a way of characterizing the spectrum needs of different wireless systems, which the ZMS can then use to determine allocation of spectrum. This new research project addresses fundamental economic issues underlying such an approach, with a focus on spectrum sharing in the 6 GHz band. The team links the core economic theory of market performance into a multi-tier contracting model to stimulate sharing across heterogeneous networks. They are working in three parallel steps. First, they design spectrum sharing contracts that utilize the SCMs being developed in the NRDZ project, resulting in Spectrum Access Agreements (SAAs). Second, they specify and evaluate the performance of different market structures for allocating these SAAs. Third, they analyze the implications of market designs on industry structure and communications rules.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

颁奖典礼2332054和2332055经济学家与两位希望使用机制设计的见解来开发6 GHz频段共享频谱的洞察力的基金合作。该项目采用基本的经济模型来分析共享频谱的市场。该团队将在不同的市场结构和不同频谱共享范式下的经济成果来表征。这项工作与对市场友好范围共享的机构和监管挑战的分析紧密相结合。获取无线频谱对于美国的经济增长越来越重要。为了满足对该资源的不断增长的需求，需要新的频谱共享范式，这些范式在经济上必须是合理的。该项目正在满足这种紧迫的需求。如果成功获得更多的频谱访问权限，它将在整个社会上产生广泛的影响，包括帮助结束数字鸿沟，使新业务能够出现以及提高现有业务的生产率。这项研究项目包括三个不同的阶段。由不同的NSF奖励资助的工作已经建立了Cosmos-NRDZ的工作，该工作旨在设计频谱区管理系统（ZMS）以实现干预范围的频谱共享。该方法部分基于使用IEEE 1900.5.2中标准化的频谱消耗模型（SCM）框架。 SCM提供了一种表征不同无线系统频谱需求的方法，然后ZM可以使用该系统来确定频谱的分配。这个新的研究项目解决了这种方法的基本经济问题，重点是6 GHz频段的频谱共享。该团队将市场绩效的核心经济理论与多层承包模型联系起来，以刺激各个异质网络的共享。他们正在以三个平行的步骤进行工作。首先，他们设计了使用NRDZ项目中开发的SCM的合同，从而导致了频谱访问协议（SaaS）。其次，他们指定并评估分配这些SaaS的不同市场结构的性能。第三，他们分析了市场设计对行业结构和通信规则的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来评估值得支持的。
