Existing spectrum auctions either use the protocol interference model to characterize interference relationship as binary, or do not allow the primary and secondary users to share channels simultaneously. To ll this void, we design SPA, a spectrum single-sided auction under the physical interference model, which considers the interference to be accumulative. We prove that SPA is computationally ecient, individualrational, and truthful. Results from extensive simulation studies demonstrate that, SPA achieves higher revenue, spectrum utilization and buyer satisfaction ratio, compared with the existing auctions modied with the physical interference model.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright of the original work is retained by the author.TextEmbargo Expires: 06/28/2017
