contents This paper investigates a smart spectrum-sharing framework for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided local high-quality wireless networks (LHQWNs) within a mobile network operator (MNO) ecosystem. Although RISs are often considered potentially harmful due to interference, this work shows that properly controlled RISs can enhance the quality of service (QoS). The proposed system enables temporary spectrum access for multiple vertical service providers (VSPs) by dynamically allocating radio resources according to traffic demand. The spectrum is divided into dedicated subchannels assigned to individual VSPs and reusable subchannels shared among multiple VSPs, while RIS is employed to improve propagation conditions. We formulate a multi-VSP utility maximization problem that jointly optimizes subchannel assignment, transmit power, and RIS phase configuration while accounting for spectrum access costs, RIS leasing costs, and QoS constraints. The resulting mixed-integer non-linear program (MINLP) is intractable using conventional optimization methods. To address this challenge, the problem is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP) and solved using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Specifically, deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) and soft actor-critic (SAC) algorithms are developed and compared. Simulation results show that SAC outperforms DDPG in convergence speed, stability, and achievable utility, reaching up to 96% of the exhaustive search benchmark and demonstrating the potential of RIS to improve overall utility in multi-VSP scenarios.
