A Pricing-Based Rate Allocation Game in TVWS Backhaul and Access Link for Rural Broadband

Suman Ghosh, Sandip Karar, Abhirup Das Barman · 2018 · IEEE Systems Journal

Summary. This paper proposes a pricing-based game theory model to allocate broadband data rates in TV white space networks serving rural areas. The hierarchical network connects remote user equipment through intermediate nodes to a central base station with fiber backhaul. Using a Stackelberg game approach, the model distributes available data rates among network entities based on willingness-to-pay, enabling efficient resource allocation even when each participant acts selfishly.
