Optimisation of a TV White Space Broadband Market Model for Rural Entrepreneurs

Sindiso Nleya, Antoine Bagula, Marco Zennaro, Ermmano Pietrosemoli · 2014 · Journal of ICT Standardization

Summary. This paper develops a game-theoretic model for TV white space broadband markets serving rural entrepreneurs. Using Bertrand competition theory, the authors analyze how primary spectrum users compete on price to sell access to secondary users operating mesh routers. The model optimizes inter-operator agreements based on quality-of-service metrics like delay and throughput, comparing outcomes across cost, revenue, and profit parameters to identify competitive equilibria.
