The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) for the project "Collaborative Research: Track 2: Market and Protocol Design for Multi-Operator Radio Resource Sharing". The project aims to develop new market mechanisms and protocol support for dynamic and automated spectrum sharing between cellular providers. Specifically, it will analyze a two-step design for spectrum markets, involving trading of both forward and spot spectrum contracts, and utilize network slicing within the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture to realize these contracts securely and efficiently. The project runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028 and seeks to improve the utilization of licensed spectrum and the profitability of spectrum service providers.
