On the Impact of Propagation Models on TV White Space Measurements in Africa
Currently, use of geo-location databases is the preferred method for detecting TV white spaces by white space devices in the US. The approach protects TV transmitters and receivers from interference sufficiently by keeping a record of the TV transmitters’ information, and relying on propagation models to determine the protection area of the TV transmitters. Thus accurate radio propagation by th...
متن کاملThe White Space Opportunity in Southern Africa: Measurements with Meraka Cognitive Radio Platform
The global migration of television (TV) from analogue to digital broadcasting will result in more spectrum bands (known as TV white space), previously used in analogue broadcasting, becoming available and unoccupied. A question is on how much white space is available and how can it be used opportunistically and dynamically without causing harmful interference to licensed users? In this paper, w...
متن کاملAnalyzing Spectrum Management Policy for Utilizing TV White Space
With the digital TV transition, TV white space issue stands out. While economic value of TV white space is estimated to be about 200~320 million pounds, there are several problems such as spectrum interference, publicity and business model issues. To analyze current spectrum management policy in utilizing TV white space in Korea, this research conducted FGI based on PEST frameworks. As a result...
متن کاملTowards Dynamic Real-Time Geo-location Databases for TV White Spaces
Recent FCC regulations on TV white spaces allow geo-location databases to be the sole source of spectrum information for White Space Devices (WSDs). Geo-location databases protect TV band incumbents by keeping track of TV transmitters and their protected service areas based on their location, transmission parameters and sophisticated propagation models. In this article, we argue that keeping tr...
