The spectrum usage fee has been imposed on spectrum users. The objective of the fee is spectrum management, so it is important to utilize it efficiently. Our study focused on how to efficiently utilize the spectrum usage fee. For this purpose it tried to found what the preconditions are for the efficient utilization, and analyzed current execution. The study showed that it did not comply with those preconditions, and produced policy recommendations. The authors expect that policy recommendations this study brought up will contribute to improve the policy process how to collect and use the spectrum usage fee.

모바일 브로드밴드 시대를 맞이하여 5G 이동통신의 기술개발이 한창 진행되고 있으나, 이를 위한 주파수 정책은 아직 체계적으로 정립되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 5G 이동통신서비스를 살펴보고, 관련 기술개발 동향을 고려하여 미래의 이동통신서비스를 제공할 수 있는 주파수 정책을 분석하였다. 이 결과를 토대로 우리나라의 주파수 정책 방안을 제안한다. 주요 정책 방안으로 3~5 GHz 대역의 주파수 공동사용 확대, 5 GHz 대역의 국제 호환성 유지, 그리고 주파수 관리체계의 일원화 등을 포함한다.

The determination of spectrum charges for the operators is a main issue to efficiently manage the limited radio spectrum resources. In this paper, we propose a model to compute the optimal charges for radio spectrum usage. The objective is to determine that will maximize the spectrum charges, and decision variables of ratios for actual or estimated revenues are considered. The spectrum charges are maximized under satisfying the least profit for operators based on Log-Linear demand function. The parameters of actual sales and minimum profit of operators are analyzed to make an efficient management for radio spectrum. The results show that the spectrum charges increase as the actual sales increase, but it decrease as the required minimum profit of operator increases. It is also observed that the government should increase the ratio for estimated sales if anticipating the poor market in the future, otherwise they should increase the ratio for actual sales to maximize the spectrum charges.

The fee system on spectrum usage is a usage fee that is charged for using spectrum provided by a wireless tower, and is used for management and promotion of the waves. The current fee system for spectrum usage in South Korea has faced many problems, such as complex calculation for fees, unjustified charges, unfairness in cost sharing among providers, and general inefficiency of operation. This study focuses on comparison of fee systems for spectrum usage of South Korea and other foreign countries, extraction of the root causes and problems by case analyses, and recommendation for better solutions to make a reasonable fee system for spectrum usage. The result of this study can be used as a solution to render spectrum usage more effective.

We consider an economic approach for spectrum operations in mobile networks. We present the investment function of base stations according to the number of FAs assuming the linearity of cell splitting. We show that there is an economic amount of spectrum which corresponds to the optimal number of FAs that minimizes the investment. We analyze the impact of the cost structure and the traffic distribution in base stations on the economic amount of spectrum. This paper is applicable to an economic spectrum operation for mobile operators. In addition, the national regulatory authority can use the economic amount of spectrum as the minimal amount for spectrum allocation.

A serious problem with traditional 'command & control' spectrum management techniques is that they do not easily accommodate new technologies and new services. This paper describes the necessary principles of flexible-use spectrum rights which may allow a wide variety of spectrum uses in a single general-purpose band. Based on the electrospace description of the radio spectrum, these principles allow general aggregation or division of licensed electrospace regions via secondary markets, providing rules for how regulatory limits change under aggregation or division. These flexible-use principles limit transmitter behaviors that tend to create a more difficult operating environment for receivers, while making receivers responsible for handling any remaining interference. The author shows how flexible-use principles could provide a basis for real-world flexible-use frequency bands.

This paper presents an analytical framework for dynamic spectrum allocation in cognitive radio networks. We propose a distributed queuing based Markovian model each for single channel and multiple channels access for a contending user. Knowledge about spectrum mobility is one of the most challenging problems in both these setups. To solve this, we consider probabilistic channel availability in case of licensed channel detection for single channel allocation, while variable data rates are considered using channel aggregation technique in the multiple channel access model. These models are designed for a centralized architecture to enable dynamic spectrum allocation and are compared on the basis of access latency and service duration.

CR 네트워크에서의 무선 채널은 일반적으로 우선 사용자에 의해 점유되어 사용하지 못하는 채널과 점유되지 않은 사용 가능한 채널로 분류된다. 하지만 이러한 채널 분류는 CR 노드와 우선 사용자의 시간적 특성만 고려하고, 공간적 특성을 고려하지 않아 유휴 주파수 자원 확보에 비효율적이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 중앙 집중형 CR 네트워크 환경에서 기존방식의 단점을 극복하여 유휴 주파수 자원을 보다 효율적으로 확보할 수 있는 새로운 채널 분류 방법을 제안하며, 제안하는 채널 분류 방법의 효율성을 수학적으로 분석한다. 이와 더불어 정의한 채널분류를 이용하여 주파수 자원이 매우 동적으로 변화하는 환경에서도 상하향 제어 채널 확보를 용이하게 확보할 수 있는 랑데부 알고리즘을 제안한다.

This paper focuses on a distributed multiple spectrum pricing scheme to maximize system capacity in next generation multiaccess systems, where multimode user equipments (MUEs) can connect simultaneously to multiple base stations (BSs) with multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The multi-price based scheme provides a distributed decision making for an optimal solution where radio resource allocations are determined by each MUE, unlike most centralized mechanisms where BS controls the whole radio resource. By the proposed optimal solution, MUEs can decide their share of spectrum bands and power allocation according to the spectrum price of each RAT, and at the same time the multiaccess system can achieve maximized total throughput. Numerical analysis shows that the proposed scheme achieves the maximal capacity by distributed resource allocation for the multiaccess system.

There is tremendous increasing demand on spectrum resource which is boosted by spread of cloud computing and M2M telecommunication as well as smart phone and tablet PC. Recently, spectrum sharing technology has drawn attention to the spectrum policy makers as a promising way to overcome limitation of scarce spectrum resource. To succeed in commercialization of spectrum sharing technology, it is necessary to prospect the future business ecosystem of spectrum sharing and develop appropriate policies and laws at the same time along with the advance of spectrum sharing technology. The purpose of this paper is to prospect future spectrum sharing ecosystem and analyze business ecosystem of spectrum sharing with casual loop map. With the causal map and system dynamics method, it is possible to analyze feedback loops which is not limited to linear thinking and build policies which optimize positive dynamics in business ecosystem of spectrum sharing.
