“…The proposed sharing mechanism is based on logarithmic utility functions and the willingness to pay of each UAV-BS, leading to a trade-off analysis between spectrum sharing and the offered prices by MNOs. Similarly, [16] explores liquidity in secondary markets by scrutinizing factors that might have hindered the development of liquid secondary markets for the radio spectrum. The authors also examine potential modifications to enhance the promotion of secondary markets.…”

While 5G has become a reality in several places around the world, some countries are still in the process of assigning frequency bands and deploying networks. In this context, there is a significant opportunity to explore new market models for the management and utilization of the radio spectrum. Access to the radio spectrum results in diverse competition schemes, where market behavior varies based on the regulator-defined access scheme and the competitive strategies of different actors. To thoroughly analyze potential competition scenarios, this work introduces a model that enhances the comprehension of market variables, emphasizing behaviors influenced by relationships. The model’s development leverages the potential of artificial intelligence and historical data from Colombia’s mobile telecommunications market. Intelligent spectrum sensing, based on Software Defined Radio, augments the model’s construction, utilizing lightweight AI algorithms to acquire real data on spectrum occupancy. In this way, the model provides novel insights into market dynamics, enabling the formulation of informed decision-making policies for regulatory bodies. Additionally, the application of causal machine learning (CausalML) helps understand the underlying causes of market behaviors, facilitating the design of guiding policies to maximize spectrum usage and foster competition. This approach demonstrates how AI-driven approaches and a deeper understanding of market dynamics can lead to effective 5G spectrum management, fostering a more competitive and efficient wireless communication landscape.

“…Equally, other countries have displayed leadership in providing localised spectrum licensing including the UK, Japan, Germany and France. Additionally, to adjust to the higher capital costs associated with smaller cells (which are also needed to make use of high frequency millimetre wave spectrum), regulators and MNOs are looking towards new shared spectrum usage models (Gomez et al, 2019(Gomez et al, , 2020Weiss et al, 2019;Weiss and Jondral, 2004). Such changes provide greater efficiency, by allowing users to access a greater quantity of the spectrum resources available.…”

“…5G), and the potential institutional changes that may be required (e.g. spectrum sharing and secondary markets) to achieve desirable social outcomes (Gomez et al, 2019;Lehr, 2020;Vuojala et al, 2019;Weiss et al, 2019). Spectrum auctions are a common tool for pursuing efficiency objectives in the cellular market, and the details of their design can be influenced by multiple policy objectives -including revenue mobilization, market efficiency or geographic equity (Goetzendorff et al, 2018).…”

In recognition of the transformative opportunities that broadband connectivity presents, the United Nations Broadband Commission has committed the international community to accelerate universal access across the developing world. However, the cost of meeting this objective, and the feasibility of doing so on a commercially viable basis, are not well understood. This paper compares the global cost-effectiveness of different infrastructure strategies for the developing world to achieve universal 4G or 5G mobile broadband. Utilizing remote sensing and geospatial infrastructure simulation, least-cost network designs are developed for eight representative low and middle-income countries (Malawi, Uganda, Kenya, Senegal, Pakistan, Albania, Peru and Mexico), the results from which form the basis for aggregation to the global level. To provide at least 2 Mbps per user, 4G is often the cheapest option to reach universal coverage. The cost of meeting the UN Broadband Commission target of a minimum 10 Mbps per user is estimated at $1.7 trillion using 5G NSA, equating to approximately 0.6% of annual GDP for the developing world over the next decade. However, by creating a favorable regulatory environment, governments can bring down these costs by as much as three quarters -to $0.5 trillion (approximately 0.2% of annual GDP) -and avoid the need for public subsidy. Providing governments make judicious choices, adopting fiscal and regulatory regimes conducive to lowering costs, broadband universal service may be within reach of most developing countries over the next decade.
