Coopetitive Business Models in Future Mobile Broadband with Licensed Shared Access (LSA)
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cognitive Communications - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Spectrum scarcity forces mobile network operators (MNOs) providing mobile broadband services to develop new business models that address spectrum sharing. It engages MNOs into coopetitive relationship with incumbents. Licensed Shared Access (LSA) concept complements traditional licensing and helps MNOs to access new spectrum bands on a shared basis. This paper discusses spectrum sharing with LSA from business perspective. It describes how coopetition and business model are linked conceptually, and identifies the influence of coopetition on future business models in LSA. We develop business models for dominant and challenger MNOs in traditional licensing and future with LSA. The results indicate that coopetition and business model concepts are linked via value co-creation and value co-capture. LSA offers different business opportunities to dominant and challenger MNOs. Offering, value proposition, customer segments and differentiation in business models become critical in mobile broadband.

Spectrum Sensing For Cognitive Radios Through Differential Entropy
In this work, we present a novel Goodness-of-Fit Test driven by differential entropy for spectrum sensing in cognitive radios, under three different noise models – Gaussian, Laplacian and mixture of Gaussians. We analyze...

On the Performance Analysis and Evaluation of Scaled Largest Eigenvalue in Spectrum Sensing: A Simple Form Approach
Scaled Largest Eigenvalue (SLE) detector stands out as the optimal single-primary-user detector in uncertain noisy environments. In this paper, we consider a multi-antenna cognitive radio system in which we aim at detect...
Consensus-based Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
In this work, we analyze a distributed cooperative spectrum sensing scheme where N secondary users (SUs) of a cognitive wireless net-work make a joint decision on the primary user (PU) presence based on an agreement reac...
