Recently, many research efforts have paid attention to spectrum pooling meshanism that provides efficient way to manage transient spectrum requests of secondary users in cognitive radio networks. Spectrum pooling is maintained by WSP (wireless service provider). WSP leases the spectrums stored in her spectrum pool to secondary users with being paid for it. It is natural that WSP tries to get profits as much as possible, which implies the WSP tries to minimize the cost required for maintaining her spectrum pool. In this paper, we model the spectrum pool into a probabilistic inventory model. Assuming secondary users' spectrum requests follow normal distribution, we give a strategic way that minimizes the maintenance cost of the spectrum pool. By a series of simulations, we show that WSP can reduce the total maintenance cost through our inventory model-based spectrum pooling than maintaining fixed inventory level.
