This Brief introduces the wireless spectrum market and discusses the current research for spectrum auctions. It covers the unique properties of spectrum auction, such as interference relationship, reusability, divisibility, composite effect and marginal effect, while also proposing how to build economic incentives into the network architecture and prools in order to optimize the efficiency of wireless systems. Three scenarios for designing new auctions are demonstrated. First, a truthful do...
