Abstract

In this paper three spectrum sharing models are studied and their relative merits are outlined to allow dynamic spectrum sharing in all bands of interest. The main criterion is to improve the availability of underutilized spectrum for secondary wireless broadband networks. The three database-assisted spectrum sharing models studied in this paper are the Licensed Shared Access (LSA), Spectrum Access System (SAS) and Television White Space (TVWS). This paper proposes a unified spectrum sharing database-assisted model as solution for improving the broadband connectivity of underserved communities and improving spectrum availability for high bandwidth services in the fifth generation (5G) networks.
