Spectrum Management

Maximizing the availability and utilization of RF Spectrum
Dynamic spectrum sharing paradigm is envisaged to meet the growing demand for the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum. There exist several technical, regulatory, and business impediments for adopting the new paradigm. In order to address these challenges, we propose a quantified approach for articulating, defining, and enforcing the spectrum-access rights and investigate maximizing the use of the spectrum in the space, time, and frequency dimensions.
