1. Adapting Cellular Networks to Whitespaces Spectrum
TV Whitespaces, recently opened up by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for
unlicensed use, are seen as a potential cellular offload and/or standalone mechanism, especially
in dense metros where the demand for throughput is high. In this paper, we use real data
collected from whitespaces databases to empirically demonstrate features unique to whitespaces-
power-spectrum tradeoff and spatial variation in spectrum availability. From this study, we
conclude the need for whitespaces-specific adaptations to cellular networks so as to be able to
extract maximum throughput and guarantee reliability. To tackle the effects of the power-
spectrum tradeoff, we propose a novel base-station design that specifically uses low-power
transmitters as a means to maximize throughput. This design co-locates and networks together
many low-powered mode-I devices to act as a multiple-antenna array. We estimate the size of the
array required to meet typical rate targets, and show that the array design significantly
outperforms traditional designs in terms of throughput for a given cost. We then turn our
attention to spatial variability and study its impact on the problem of locating base stations in a
whitespaces network. Here, we propose spectrum-aware placement algorithms for whitespaces,
which account for this spatial variability along with key parameters like user density. We show
that such algorithms clearly outperform traditional placement algorithms and improve network
coverage in this band.
