Resource Auctioning Mechanisms in Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks

The vision of the wireless communications beyond 3G is characterized by flexibility. Future communication networks should be able to flexibly allocate resources and radio access technologies (RATs) to maintain high quality of communication and efficient use of radio resources. This should be the task of the joint radio resource management (JRRM) algorithms. Furthermore, this flexibility should also cover the pricing mechanism which should be able to react to the instantaneous users' needs and resource availability. This are tackled by a real time spectrum auction system. This paper draws an architecture which embodies the two mechanisms: JRRM and spectrum auction, in order to create highly efficient wireless systems
