Introduction of dynamic spectrum management technologies : the role of industry openness and spectrum policy

The introduction of Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) has been challenged by several technical, economic and regulatory factors. This study analyzes market structure conditions in terms of industry openness and spectrum policy for introducing DSM technologies into mobile markets, developing a framework which combine System Dynamics modeling (top-down approach) and Bayesian network data analysis (bottom-up approach) for analyzing current mobile markets and their future evolutions possibilities. This model describes mobile-operator centric and end-user centric scenarios for a future DSM deployment.
