8 Lessons Learned Coordination among database providers is critical Required development of a complex data exchange protocol to ensure that the information is updated frequently and consistently; Need for the device authentication protocols to register and authenticate devices by the database provider currently, at the time of certification devices are approved for communications with specific database providers Ensure consistent method of calculating protected areas each database must provide the same answer Need a process for authenticating user input and for ensuring data integrity Need clear policy for handling license database errors Clarify handling of expired licenses w/ pending renewals Once issues discovered, need effective way to quickly communicate remedies to all databases Out of band emissions can be a challenge 2014 Dynamic Spectrum Alliance 8
9 Proposed Rule Changes (Accommodate Incentive Auction) NPRM adopted Sept. 30, 2104 Proposed unlicensed operation in: Remaining white space Duplex gap Guard bands Channel 37 Shared non IX to medical telemetry and radio astronomy Recovered spectrum until wireless operation commences Proposed additional technical flexibility for devices = Bands proposed for unlicensed 9
10 Spectrum Sharing: Small 3.5 GHz 10
11 Citizens Broadband Radio Service Report & Order Adopted April 17, 2015 Citizens Broadband Radio Service Federal Navy Ship Radars Non-Federal FSS ES Federal Ground-Based Radar FSS 150 MHz of contiguous spectrum Dynamic spectrum access for small cells 11
12 Three Tier Access Incumbent Access Priority Access General Authorized Access Incumbent Access: Includes authorized federal and grandfathered Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) users currently operating in the 3.5 GHz Band. Priority Access License (PAL): Authorize certain users to operate with some interference protection in portions of the 3.5 GHz Band at specific locations General Authorized Access (GAA): Users authorized to use the 3.5 GHz Band opportunistically. GAA users required to accept interference from Incumbent and Priority Access tier users. 12
13 License Areas PALs licensed by census tract Over 74,000 census tracts in U.S. May aggregate census tracts U.S. Census Tracts Washington DC 2014 Dynamic Spectrum Alliance 13
14 Protected Access vs General Authorized Access Band wide Operability Requirement All Citizens Broadband Service Devices (CBSDs) must be capable of two way transmission on any frequency from MHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service Navy Ship Radars Non-Federal FSS ES Federal Federal Ground-Based Radar FSS Shared Between PALs and GAA Protected Access Licenses Up to seven 10 megahertz licenses Can aggregate up to four PALs in any census tract Assigned through auction Three year term General Authorized Access Opportunistic use General Authorized Access Only Increased technical flexibility Additional power in rural areas Existing equipment exempt from band wide operability requirement 2014 Dynamic Spectrum Alliance 14
15 Incumbent Protection Protection of Federal Systems at MHz Phase 1 Exclusion zone near coastlines Phase 2 Environmental sensing capability Exclusion zone protection zone Protection of Non Federal Systems at MHz Incumbent terrestrial broadband licensees grandfathered for five+ years Grandfathered FSS ( MHz) register with FCC yearly Protection based on operating parameters Further Notice explores additional protection criteria Proposed exclusion zone Adopted exclusion / protection zone Three Federal radar sites protected via 80 km exclusion zone Dynamic Spectrum Alliance 15
16 Spectrum Access System (SAS) A next generation sharing system building on white spaces Determine available frequencies at a location and assign them to CBSDs Determine maximum permissible power level for CBSDs at a location Register and authenticate CBSDs Enforce Exclusion and Protection Zones Protect PALs from IX from other users SAS Functions Facilitate coordination between GAAs Ensure secure and reliable transmission of information between the SAS, ESC, and CBSDs Protect Grandfathered Wireless Broadband Licensees Facilitate coordination and information exchange between SASs 16
17 More Work To Do Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Defining Use of PAL frequencies Implementing secondary markets in Priority Access Licenses Optimizing Protection for FSS In band protection of FSS in MHz Out of band protection of C band FSS earth stations SAS Provider selection and authorization Will use process similar to TV White Spaces Multi stakeholder process FCC appreciates industry establishing a multi stakeholder process Regulations set framework Industry collaboration will be key to successful implementation 17
