Abstract:
A new type of TV white space (TVWS) channel called the high priority channel (HPC) has been proposed by
the regulator of Singapore. The HPCs are TVWS channels that will always be available to unlicensed white space devices (WSDs) although a white space database (WSDB) provider may impose fees to WSDs for using HPCs. The HPC is of interest to WSDB providers since it creates a new business opportunity for them. In
this letter, we investigate the optimal fee for using HPCs such that the WSDB provider achieves the maximum revenue. The solution of the optimal fee is provided in this letter. From this study, it is observed that WSDB provider should not always increase the fee when the total number ofWSDs increases as our results show that
sometimes lowering the fee to attract more WSDs to use HPCs actually increases the revenue.
