However, it is envisaged that the DSA would result in a drop in revenue, increase in operational costs and could leads to congestion of the network as a result of interference imposed due to secondary usage of the spectrum. Moreover, there is also a need to reduce the energy consumption of the system which could combat the climate change. This therefore, necessitates, the need to examine the social-economic aspect of the DSA systems. The paper investigates the appropriateness of an auction process in DSA networks. Game theory was used to propose a model that helps solving the pricing challenges expected of an auction-based DSA network. The results presented show that, if properly implemented, the DSA can help in congestion management, increase in revenue generation, decrease in operational costs and reduction in in energy consumption.Dynamic Spectrum Access; Game theory; Spectrum Auction; Spectrum PricingArticle
