Two Subsidy Schemes
• Price Subsidy Scheme– The regulator gives an equal price subsidy to each user that ac-
cesses network service.– Source of the price subsidy is from the spectrum sales revenue.
• QoS Subsidy Scheme– The regulator gives all of the available spectrum amount to net-
work service provider (NSP) for free in return for providing a pre-defined QoS level to users without any charge.

System Model
7/24
RAdio resource Management and OptimizationYONSEI UNIVERSITY
User Behavior
• We consider three schemes.– Price subsidy scheme– QoS subsidy scheme– Conventional scheme (no subsidy)
• Each user decides whether to access the network or not considering the service price and QoS.
• Each user has own QoS requirement and willingness to pay for it (User Type).

Mathematical Notations
: total number of users: NSP's spectrum usage amount: NSP's service price, 0,1
: NSP's QoS level, 0,1
: ratio of accessing users (if all users access the network, then 1): user type, 0,1

• If the regulator has sufficient spectrum for the network service, then the QoS subsidy scheme will be a good choice for all players in the network service mar-ket.

Discussion

RAdio resource Management and OptimizationYONSEI UNIVERSITY
Summary
• We introduced price and QoS subsidy schemes, and analyze the effect of each scheme.
• If the regulator has sufficient spectrum for the network service, then the QoS subsidy scheme will be a good choice for all players in the network service market.
• On the other hand, if the regulator does not have sufficient spec-trum, the price subsidy scheme can be better for user welfare.
• For taking advantage of both price and QoS subsidy schemes, we can suggest a hybrid subsidy scheme.

RAdio resource Management and OptimizationYONSEI UNIVERSITY
A Hybrid Subsidy Scheme
• The regulator sells all of the available spectrum amount with a discounted price (not free) and requires NSP to provide a prede-fined QoS level for free.
• At the same time, the regulator gives a price subsidy to users from the spectrum sales revenue.
