Spectrum sharing is a key technology to relieve the ever-increasing spectrum demand and realize the full potential of radio spectrum. In this paper, we study spectrum sharing between higher priority users and lower priority users under geo-location based spectrum sharing systems. We consider a dynamic spectrum allocation scheme that allocates spectrum to a higher priority user based on its spectrum need that can be determined by its traffic load. The lower priority users utilize the unallocated spectrum. In addition to studying the performance of higher priority users with this dynamic spectrum allocation scheme, we also investigate the impact of this scheme on spectrum availability and stability of lower priority users. We develop a mathematical model to analyze the performance. The simulation results indicate that spectrum sharing is efficient, and the spectrum is abundant and relatively stable to lower priority users, even when the system is moderately loaded with higher priority users.
