Abstract
This letter discusses the spectrum trading problem between UAVs acting as aerial access points and a macro base station (MBS). The study aims to address the complex game-theoretic interactions between the MBS and multiple UAVs to enhance the benefits for all parties involved. We propose a combined spectrum trading scheme for multiple UAV operators jointly requesting spectrum from the MBS. For each UAV operator, we introduce an optimal contract design problem based on cooperation and present a method utilizing greedy strategies and block coordinate descent to solve it. Compared to schemes that ignore composite contract, cooperative spectrum trading increases the transaction volume by 32.41% in the scenario we set.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
