This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). Historical static spectrum assignment has led to a critical spectrum shortage. While new prominent wireless technologies starve for spectrum, large chunks of spectrum remain idle most of the time under their current owners. With proper economic incentives, spectrum redistribution based on an open market can eliminate the artificial shortage. This project develops S-TRADE, an auction-driven spectrum trading platform to implement the spectrum marketplace. S-TRADE differs significantly from conventional FCC-style spectrum auctions that target only a few large corporate players and take months or years to conclude. Instead, S-TRADE serves many small players and enables on-the-fly spectrum transactions. In essence, S-TRADE selectively buys idle spectrum pieces from providers and sells them to a large number of buyers matching their individual demands. By effectively multiplexing spectrum supply and demand in time and space, the proposed marketplace also significantly improve spectrum utilization. The design of S-TRADE focuses on achieving spectrum multiplexing/reuse to improve spectrum utilization while guaranteeing economic robustness to encourage player participation and minimize market manipulation. This project focuses on tightly integrating novel algorithms of dynamic spectrum allocation with economic mechanism design. The research outcomes deepen our understanding of the way spectrum should be distributed and the role of economics in distributing it. By integrating economics mechanism design with wireless networking, this project forms an integral part of interdisciplinary training programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。历史静态频谱分配导致了严重的频谱短缺。尽管新的突出的无线技术挨饿，但在当前所有者的大部分时间里，大多数情况下，大部分频谱仍然闲置。通过适当的经济激励措施，基于公开市场的频谱再分配可以消除人为的短缺。该项目开发了S-Trade，这是一个以拍卖驱动的频谱交易平台来实施Spectrum Marketplace。 S-Trade与仅针对少数大公司参与者的传统FCC风格拍卖明显不同，需要数月或几年才能得出结论。取而代之的是，S-Trade为许多小玩家提供服务，并启用了在线频谱交易。从本质上讲，S-Trade有选择地从提供商那里购买闲置的光谱件，并将其出售给许多符合其个人需求的买家。通过有效地将光谱频谱供应和时间和空间的需求多重，拟议的市场也可以显着改善频谱利用率。 S-Trade的设计着重于实现频谱多路复用/重用以改善频谱利用率，同时保证经济鲁棒性鼓励球员参与并最大程度地减少市场操作。 该项目着重于将动态频谱分配的新算法与经济机制设计紧密整合在一起。研究结果加深了我们对频谱的分布方式以及经济学在分发它中的作用的理解。通过将经济学机制设计与无线网络整合在一起，该项目构成了本科和研究生级别的跨学科培训计划的组成部分。
