2 Spectrum scarcity Spectrum No technological change Technological change 2 Number of users

3 Role of technology & policy New technologies Approved technologies for spectrum use Regulatory Authority 3

4 Policy has been lagging Regulation (1930) Technology (2004) Built on the assumption of dumb radios Fast processing power and intelligent radios Tightly regulated use for licensees Highly controlled transmission power 4 Very limited provisions for reclaiming inefficiently used spectrum New technologies Spread spectrum Smart antenna Mesh networks Software defined radios

5 Spectrum management is changing Policy makers realize the traditional system is inefficient. Non-traditional spectrum allocations Unlicensed spectrum: very successful Auctions: mixed results 5 Policy makers facing difficult decisions Integrate new technologies under the traditional scheme Revamp the entire system.

6 What regulators are facing The task of overhauling the spectrum allocation system The need to understand advances in wireless technologies. 6

7 Spread Spectrum Spread spectrum technologies send information over a much wider band than the actual bandwidth of the information by using a code to either modify the carrier wave or to define a hopping pattern for frequencies. 7

8 Ultra-wide band (UWB) Ultra-wide band is a spread spectrum technology that transmits data at very high speeds by sending the transmission over a wide range of frequencies but at very low power levels. 8

9 Smart antennas 9 Smart antennas use digital signal processing to pinpoint the location of users. This allows them to send and receive targeted transmissions and reduce interference. Image source: ITU adapted from IEC

10 Mesh networks 10 A local area network (or LAN) where each device on the network simultaneously connects to and communicates with all devices in range. Devices communicate with each over by passing transmissions using other devices as intermediaries.

11 Software-defined radio A wireless communication device where a computer controls the transmitter modulation. They can be re-programmed on the fly 11 Promising applications: Multiple uses from generic radio terminal Mobile phone Cordless phone Pager WLAN Quick software upgrades to adapt to regulatory changes Agile radios

12 Agile radios Agile radios act as frequency scavengers. They can broadcast on an unused frequency until the agile radio senses another radio trying to use the same frequency. At that moment, the radio hops frequency to another temporarily unused portion of the radio spectrum. Frequency 12 Time

13 WiMAX / Portable Internet Frequency: 2.3 GHz Bandwidth: 2 Mbit/s, user Mobility: 70 Km/hour Cost: Est. US$ 15/month 13

14 Wireless can fill the gap One wireless technology to reach remote areas, another to share the connection once it s there Long range Technologies such as WiMax and LMDS can transport large amounts of data over long distances. WiMax should be able to carry a 70 Mbit/s connection over 50 km. Short range WLAN technologies such as Wi-Fi can spread the connection over a short distance from the landing spot of a long-range connection. 14

15 Key policy decisions Allowing underlays Developing interference temperature measures Allowing coexistence models Creating more unlicensed spectrum Cleaning up unused spectrum Developing a regulatory model for mesh networks 15

16 Allowing underlays Benefits UWB allows highly efficient use of the noise floor, without significantly affecting licensed uses The wider the usable band, the lower the power needed to transmit Could form the foundation of future mesh networks 16 Drawbacks Strong resistance from current licensees Adding more UWB devices raises overall noise

17 Interference temperature Benefits Allows for a dynamic use of spectrum in a given location, based on the current use Radios could use higher power in quiet areas and reduce power or switch frequencies in noisy environments Drawbacks Difficult to initially coordinate a system that all devices would follow 17

18 Coexistence models Benefits Can greatly increase the use of fallow spectrum Studies have found only 19-40% usage throughout the day on even the most populated frequencies. Unlicensed devices could scavenge for frequencies, subject to equipment and regulatory controls 18 Drawbacks Strong opposition from current licensees May require upgrades of equipment for licensees.

19 Unlicensed spectrum Benefits Creates a fertile test bed for new wireless technologies. Decreases the costs to technology developers Provides incentives to create devices with high tolerance to interference (e.g. spread spectrum) 19 Drawbacks Spectrum bands can become congested Difficulty clearing new bands Loss of direct revenues to governments if spectrum is not auctioned

20 Multi-use, software defined radios Benefits Software-defined radios can reduce the number of wireless technologies people need to carry. Radios could be updated on-the-fly to conform to new regulations 20 Drawbacks Regulation will need to start moving away from hardware to software. Software can be hacked out of compliance

21 Mesh networks Benefits Reduce distance each radio needs to broadcast Bandwidth increases with the number of users on the network Excellent network for using UWB and smart antennas 21 Drawbacks Battery life Security concerns Regulatory implications

22 Key recommendations Regulatory authorities should strongly consider allowing UWB, at least at low power levels. Spectrum authorities should consider setting aside frequencies for testing agile radios. Regulators should begin looking into the ramifications of mesh networks. 22 Regulators should create a technical advisory group to follow new technologies.

23 Thank you Taylor Reynolds 23
