Abstract
To address the need to fairly allocate resources to a number of competing and heterogeneous consumers, embodiments such as those depicted in diagram 100 may be employed. A dynamic resource access (DRA) manager receives (101) a bid for a wireless resource from each bidder of a group of bidders, each bid including a bid price. Each bidder in the group of bidders is ranked (102) based on bid price and a quality of service associated with that bidder. The wireless resource is then allocated (103) to the highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders at the bid price of the second highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders.

A method to facilitate dynamic resource access (DRA) in a wireless network comprising:
- receiving by a dynamic resource access (DRA) manager a bid for a wireless resource from each bidder of a group of bidders, each bid including a bid price;
- ranking each bidder in the group of bidders based on bid price and a quality of service associated with that bidder;
- allocating the wireless resource to the highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders at the bid price of the second highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders.
A method to facilitate dynamic resource access (DRA) in a wireless network comprising:
- receiving by a dynamic resource access (DRA) manager a bid for at least a portion of a group of wireless resources from each bidder of a group of bidders, each bid including a bid price;
- ranking each bidder in the group of bidders based on bid price and a quality of service associated with that bidder;
- allocating at least a portion of the group of wireless resources to the highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders at the bid price of the second highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders.
A network manager comprising:
- a network interface adapted to send and receive messaging using at least one communication protocol;
- a processing unit, communicatively coupled to the network interface,
- adapted to receive, via the network interface, a bid for a wireless resource from each bidder of a group of bidders, each bid including a bid price,
- adapted to rank each bidder in the group of bidders based on bid price and a quality of service associated with that bidder, and
- adapted to allocate the wireless resource to the highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders at the bid price of the second highest ranked bidder of the group of bidders.
