Utility Functions and Resource Allocation for Spectrum Sharing

The user satisfaction with the provided service can be expressed using utility functions that represent the degree of satisfaction of the user function of the rate allocated by the cellular network [1–9]. We assume that the applications utility functions U(r) are strictly concave or sigmoidal-like functions [10–16].
