Abstract
This paper further develops the concept of a digital spectrum twin (DST), which can be used to enhance dynamic radio access and spectrum management. Specifically, we define the three types of parallel intelligence at work in a DST. With this framework, we demonstrate with economic principles and an illustrative case study the importance of spectrum metering on a DST-enabled radioscape.
