Economics of ISAC

We study the economics of deploying integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) capabilities in commercial wireless networks, including the incentives for service providers to offer sensing services, the opportunity costs of sharing network resources between sensing and communications, and the allocation of sensing requirements across providers.

R. Berry and M. Felix, "The Economics of Commercial ISAC for Wide-Area Sensing," IEEE MILCOM workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communication for Critical Infrastructure Protection, October, 2026, Washington, DC.

Valuing Federal Spectrum

We develop a framework for valuing federal spectrum, with particular emphasis on opportunity costs, social benefits, and the policy choices involved in making spectrum available for commercial use.

5G Random Access with Spectrum Sharing

We study how 5G networks can support massive handovers when shared spectrum becomes unavailable, and how random access resources should be allocated in response.

Contract Design for Dynamic Infrastructure and Spectrum Sharing

We examine how contracts can coordinate infrastructure and spectrum sharing when resources, demand, and participation change over time.

Strategic Queueing and Network Utility Maximization

We investigate network utility maximization when users make strategic decisions in queueing systems, using a game-theoretic approach to characterize system behavior.

Spectral Efficiency in LEO Satellite Constellations

We analyze how orbital geometry, interference, frequency reuse and system resources determine the downlink area spectral efficiency of LEO satellite constellations.
