Spectrum Trading for Device-to-Device Communication In Cellular Networks using Incomplete Information Bandwidth-Auction Game

Device-to-device (D2D) communication that allows proximity users to communicate directly has been recently proposed to improve spectral efficiency of cellular networks. In this paper, we assume a cellular network consisting of multiple cellular user equipments (CUEs), which are the primary users, and a cognitive D2D pair, which is the secondary user. The D2D pair needs a bandwidth for data transmission that can be obtained via spectrum trading. We introduce a bandwidth-auction game for the spect...
