Abstract

In this paper, we propose a truthful multi-unit double auction scheme for the scenarios that multiple buyers/sellers have different demands to buy/sell, which involves a series of bid-related buyer group construction and winner determination strategies. In the analysis, we show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed scheme and prove that it improves the spectrum reusability and is truthful. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first multi-unit double auction approach for wireless spectrum allocation.
