Abstract

We propose a novel vision to trade and allocate wireless spectrum in 6G communication networks inspired by the concept of the sharing economy. We argue that such an approach will help ease the surge in demands for wireless spectrum that will characterise the 6G world. We also introduce HODNET (Heterogeneous on Demand NETwork resource negotiation), an open platform that is able to realise this new spectrum-sharing model. To demonstrate the benefits of spectrum trading and allocation in this new paradigm, we considered the use-case of massive Internet of Things (IoT) on a local scale. We simulated a large IoT deployment and evaluated the spectral efficiency of the system when managed using HODNET compared with a standard 5G deployment. Our experiments show that HODNET can indeed offer better allocation, based on our spectrum sharing model, of spectrum resources compared with standard allocation approaches.
