The Spectrum Sharing Innovation Test-Bed Pilot Program Fiscal Year 2009 Progress Report
Abstract:
This progress report describes the activities related to the Spectrum Sharing Innovation Test-Bed Pilot Program undertaken during Fiscal Year 2010.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal agencies, established a Spectrum Sharing Innovation Test-Bed (Test-Bed) pilot program to examine the feasibility of increased sharing between Federal and non-Federal users. This pilot program is an opportunity for the Federal agencies to work cooperatively with industry, researchers, and academia to examine objectively new technologies that can improve management of the nation’s airwaves.
The Test-Bed pilot program is evaluating the ability of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) devices employing spectrum sensing and/or geo-location techniques to share spectrum with land mobile radio (LMR) systems operating in the 410–420 MHz Federal band and in the 470–512 MHz non-Federal band.1 To address potential interference to incumbent LMR spectrum users, the Test-Bed pilot program includes both laboratory and field measurements performed in three phases to characterize the interaction with DSA enabled devices
