AI-enabled Priority and Auction-Based Spectrum Management for 6G (2401.06484v1)
Abstract: In this paper, we present a quality of service (QoS)-aware priority-based spectrum management scheme to guarantee the minimum required bit rate of vertical sector players (VSPs) in the 5G and beyond generation, including the 6th generation (6G). VSPs are considered as spectrum leasers to optimize the overall spectrum efficiency of the network from the perspective of the mobile network operator (MNO) as the spectrum licensee and auctioneer. We exploit a modified Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction mechanism to allocate the spectrum to them where the QoS and the truthfulness of bidders are considered as two important parameters for prioritization of VSPs. The simulation is done with the help of deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) as a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that deploying the DDPG algorithm results in significant advantages. In particular, the efficiency of the proposed spectrum management scheme is about %85 compared to the %35 efficiency in traditional auction methods.
