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.

奖项 2332054 和 2332055 资助一位经济学家和两位电气工程师之间的合作，他们希望利用机制设计的见解来开发共享 6 GHz 频段频谱的方法。该项目应用基本经济模型来分析共享频谱市场。该团队将描述不同市场结构和不同频谱共享范式下的经济成果。这项工作与对实现市场友好的频谱共享的制度和监管挑战的分析紧密结合。获得无线频谱对于美国经济增长越来越重要。为了满足对该资源不断增长的需求，需要新的频谱共享范例，并且这些范例需要经济合理。该项目正在解决这一迫切需求。如果成功地实现更多频谱接入，将对整个社会产生广泛影响，包括帮助缩小数字鸿沟、促进新业务的出现以及提高现有企业的生产力。该研究项目包括三个不同的阶段。由 NSF 的另一个奖项资助的工作建立了 COSMOS-NRDZ 项目，该项目旨在设计一个频谱区域管理系统 (ZMS)，以实现干扰感知频谱共享。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，ZMS 随后可以使用该方法来确定频谱分配。这个新的研究项目解决了这种方法背后的基本经济问题，重点是 6 GHz 频段的频谱共享。该团队将市场表现的核心经济理论与多层合同模型联系起来，以刺激异构网络之间的共享。他们正在分三个并行的步骤进行工作。首先，他们设计利用 NRDZ 项目中正在开发的 SCM 的频谱共享合同，从而形成频谱访问协议 (SAA)。其次，他们指定并评估分配这些 SAA 的不同市场结构的绩效。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 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
