Understanding Dynamic Spectrum Sharing: Field to Lab Methodology and Case Study

Abstract

With the demand to fulfill the insatiable appetite for voice, video, and data connectivity anywhere and anytime, the need for more spectrum bandwidth is a never ending challenge. When considering available spectrum, the NTIA and FCC have focused on spectrum that appears viable for coexistence through a measure of dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS). Recent technology and standards enhancement for dynamic access control, frequency selection, and detect and avoid technologies show promise to enable the successful sharing of occupied spectrum.
