“…The analysis also highlighted the stakeholder perspective as a key factor in understanding and assessing the value of spectrum. Authors in [6] have pointed out that the value of spectrum is not the same for all stakeholders, for example for MNOs and local operators. Authors in [5] present strategic value as a reflector of the expected position and competitive advantage of an operator from the assigned spectrum, which is completely defined from the operator stakeholder's view and is different for smaller and larger players.…”

Radio spectrum is a scarce natural resource, whose efficient management calls for a thorough understanding of its value. A number of spectrum valuation approaches has emerged considering different elements, some with potentially high uncertainty as future profits, total cost of ownership and societal benefits. Spectrum valuation is important in regulators' 5G spectrum decisions and will face a new situation, where location specific services and higher carrier frequencies give rise to local network operator models. This paper analyses the existing spectrum management and spectrum valuation approaches and identifies key elements to consider, when defining and assessing the value of spectrum especially in the context of future local 5G networks. The growing pressure to open the mobile market for location and vertical specific 5G networks promotes new sharingbased spectrum access models, to allow the emergence of local 5G operators. We characterize the identified spectrum valuation elements in the context of these new local 5G networks from the perspectives of the different stakeholder roles including regulators, mobile network operators (MNOs) and entrant local 5G operators. We further present a spectrum valuation case study of the recent 5G spectrum decisions in the 3.5 GHz band in different countries.

“…LTE evolution and future 5G networks are expected to change the mobile communication market structure and be increasingly locally deployed by new entrant stakeholders. Facility owners' role as a local operator serving MNOs' customers is highlighted by Zander in [34] and Ahmed, Markendahl and Ghanbari in [35] as a feasible solution for the deployment of building specific ultra-dense networks. Furthermore, local high-quality 5G wireless networks are gaining increasing attention as the solution to deliver guaranteed quality of service, particularly concerning the low latency requirements, in various use cases of vertical sectors and enterprises [36].…”

“…Private mobile communication networks as standalone solutions or collaboratively serving MNOs' customers are particularly envisaged to operate in shared spectrum bands [37]. Spectrum options for local indoor network deployments by local operators were assessed by Ahmed, Markendahl and Ghanbari [35] for different spectrum allocation options where the local operators were either collaborating closely with the MNOs or deploying their own independent networks.…”

Emerging private LTE and 5G services and applications have created need for local radio spectrum licensing. The existing pricing models for licenses do not work well in this context. This paper introduces three new location dependent pricing methods that aim to produce more accurate pricing for local licenses. We use Traficom Frequency Fee as our base-case general spectrum pricing model, and we replace the population density based location coefficient with proxies such as employee density, value added per employee, and rent prices. By comparing the differences in the prices yielded by the models, we show that the new models can in some cases identify high demand areas like hospitals and industrial districts better than the original population density based model. Additionally, we conclude that the original population density based model and the new employee density based model could be used together to capture both the consumer and the industrial spectrum demand simultaneously.

“…However, co-existence of small cells and macro cells in the same frequency bands introduces new types of interference [18], [19]. In contrast, dedicated allocation of licensed bands to small cells would lead to spectrum underutilisation and is not of interest to the operators [20]. Besides, the deployment of small cells is subject to additional costs in terms of, e.g., high-speed backhaul and additional infrastructure [20].…”

The ongoing development of mobile communication networks to support a wide range of superfast broadband services has led to massive capacity demand. This problem is expected to be a significant concern during the deployment of the 5G wireless networks. The demand for additional spectrum to accommodate mobile services supporting higher data rates and having lower latency requirements, as well as the need to provide ubiquitous connectivity with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) sector, is likely to considerably exceed the supply, based on the current policy of exclusive spectrum allocation to mobile cellular systems. Hence, the imminent spectrum shortage has introduced a new impetus to identify practical solutions to make the most efficient use of the scarce licensed bands in a shared manner. Recently, the concept of dynamic spectrum sharing has received considerable attention from regulatory bodies and governments globally, as it could potentially open new opportunities for mobile operators to exploit spectrum bands whenever they are underutilised by their owners, subject to service level agreements. Although various sharing paradigms have been proposed and discussed, the impact and performance gains of different schemes can be scenario-specific and vary depending on the nature of the sharing parties, the level of sharing and spectrum access scheme. In this survey, we describe the main concepts of dynamic spectrum sharing, different sharing scenarios, as well as the major challenges associated with sharing licensed bands. Finally, we conclude this survey paper with open research challenges and suggest some future research directions
