Abstract:With the rapid growth on data traffic, spectrum shortage becomes increasingly serious, leading to the paradigm shift in spectrum usage from an exclusive mode to a sharing mode. However, how to utilize shared spectrums effectively for service provisioning is not straightforward due to its uncertain availability, known as spectrum uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a new metric to evaluate the achievable rate of a link on a share band under a confidence level, called probabilistic link capacity, which offers us an effective way to guarantee the quality of service statistically when using the shared spectrum for service delivery. Different from most existing works where the distributional information is explicitly given based on certain structural assumption, we develop a data-driven distributionally robust approach by using the first and second order statistical information. To achieve the result, we formulate it into a tractable semidefinite programming problem based on the worst-case of conditional-value-at-risk. Finally, as a use case, we design a service-based spectrum-aware transmission scheme, so that different kinds of spectrums (licensed and shared) can be efficiently utilized to satisfy the diverse service requirements.
