SMALL: A Strategy-Proof Mechanism for Radio Spectrum Allocation

With the growing deployment of wireless communication technologies, radio spectrum is becoming a scarce resource. Thus mechanisms to efficiently allocate the available spectrum are of interest. In this paper, we model the radio spectrum allocation problem as a sealed-bid reserve auction, and propose SMALL, which is a trategy-proof Mechanism for radio spectrum ALLocation. Furthermore, we extend SMALL to adapt to multi-radio spectrum buyers, which can bid for more than one radio.
