Radio frequency spectrum scarcity has become a high priority research area over the past few years. The huge
increase of network subscribers with multimedia applications coupled with underutilization of radio frequency
spectrum motivates the search for other measures to address the scarcity of radio frequency spectrum. This work
investigates on a price based spectrum sharing scheme for connection-oriented traffic in wireless cellular
networks as a solution to address the scarcity of radio frequency spectrum. Dynamic pricing approach is applied
with traffic overflows into neighbor networks. Performance evaluations of the scheme at steady state using
MATLAB simulations reveal significant gains to the quality of service. Application of the scheme to highly
loaded network traffic improves both network revenue and traffic channel utilizations.
