Spectrum sharing and licensed shared access: Draft ReporttechUK
This document summarizes interviews conducted with stakeholders regarding licensed shared access (LSA) and spectrum sharing in the UK. Key points from the interviews include:
- Stakeholders see potential benefits of sharing but it is not a high priority beyond existing arrangements. Lack of transparency around supply and demand makes matching uses difficult. Incentives for sharing differ between commercial and public sectors.
- Preferences were expressed for voluntary private arrangements over enforced sharing, with Ofcom facilitating. Concerns included complexity, protection zones, and handling dynamic arrangements.
- Flexibility is needed for different applications and sharing combinations. Time sharing is less desirable than geographic. Limited regulator role is preferred.
- Uncertainty exists around implementing European L
The document discusses spectrum sharing and outlines some key points:
1) Spectrum use needs to be more efficient as demand is growing from applications like mobile and PMSE.
2) There are different options for sharing spectrum, including licensed shared access and dynamic shared access.
3) Sharing could potentially occur between public and commercial sector users, but incentives need to be in place to encourage sharing.
4) Long term, as demand increases, there will likely be more spectrum sharing between various users through models like LSA and DSA. Issues around incentives, regulations and technical standards need to be addressed to facilitate increased sharing.
Public Private Sharing: can it be made to work?techUK
Current approaches for Public Spectrum sharing - Andy Hudson, Director of Spectrum Policy, Ofcom at UK Spectrum Policy Forum Cluster 2 meeting on 9th Sep. on 'Public-Private sharing'
The document discusses railway spectrum use in the UK and potential future changes. It notes that railway operations currently rely on radio communications for driver communications, track staff communications, signaller communications, and in-cab signalling. It also outlines the significant economic contribution of rail transport in the UK. The document advocates for improved radio technologies and coordination to support increased passenger traffic, in-cab signalling rollout, and other modernization efforts. It explores options for the successor to the current GSM-R standard, including potentially using commercial mobile networks if certain critical reliability and coverage conditions are met.

UK Spectrum Policy Forum: Spectrum sharing project updatetechUK
The UK Spectrum Policy Forum has commissioned Plum Consulting to develop recommendations for a unified set of characteristics for Licensed Shared Access (LSA). LSA aims to improve spectrum sharing by giving new users licensed access to spectrum while protecting incumbent users. Plum will gather stakeholder views through interviews on key issues such as LSA format, necessary incentives, possible frequency bands, and licensing. They will then analyze responses, review drafts with the UK SPF, and present final recommendations to help progress practical implementation of LSA.

This document summarizes a project on Licensed Shared Access (LSA) spectrum sharing being conducted by Plum Consulting for the UK Spectrum Policy Forum. The project aims to develop recommendations for an LSA specification based on analysis of current LSA proposals and input from stakeholders. The agenda includes an overview of LSA and the sharing concept, key issues to discuss with stakeholders such as incentives for sharing and suitable frequency bands, and the project timetable which involves stakeholder interviews through May and presenting final recommendations to the UK SPF in June.
Cluster 2 is focused on capturing current spectrum access mechanisms and future spectrum use and sharing mechanisms based on demand and economic/social value. The cluster's strategy is to review primary access mechanisms, spectrum award approaches, primary and secondary spectrum uses, the social and economic value of spectrum, and leverage input from Cluster 1 to recommend new/changed methods to governments and regulators. Upcoming Cluster 2 meetings will focus on mmWave spectrum licensing and sharing, public-private spectrum sharing, and mechanisms for public sector spectrum release. Reports will address access to public sector spectrum and 5G spectrum in 24-86 GHz bands. The previous approach of using meetings for research and consultants for analysis/writing may be revisited.

Next steps on Licensed shared access (LSA) studytechUK
Plum Consulting delivered a study on Licensed Shared Access (LSA) to the Spectrum Policy Forum (SPF) Plenary. The study recommended that 1) no changes are needed to current UK legislation or licensing for LSA, 2) public sector spectrum sharing processes like Crown licensing should be simplified, 3) transparency of spectrum supply and demand information should be improved, and 4) Ofcom and industry should take a bolder approach to interference scenarios to maximize sharing. The SPF Plenary was asked to endorse these recommendations to enable effective future spectrum management, particularly for 5G networks.

This document discusses three types of spectrum sharing: licensed spectrum sharing, unlicensed spectrum sharing, and secondary spectrum access. Licensed spectrum sharing involves paying for access to dedicated frequency bands assigned by regulators. Unlicensed spectrum is free to use but has no protection from interference. Secondary spectrum access makes use of TV white spaces in the VHF and UHF bands. The document provides details on the characteristics, advantages, and challenges of each type of spectrum sharing.
This document summarizes the UK government's £10 million Market Testing Pilots program to explore expanding broadband coverage beyond 95% using new wireless and hybrid network solutions. Eight projects were selected testing technologies like wireless, satellite, and fiber. The projects will now submit feasibility reports and potentially deploy pilot networks. Insights from the pilots will help inform future government investment to extend broadband coverage to hard to reach areas.

The document discusses the rise of total mobility and predictions about the future of wireless communications. It covers:
- The background of the Spectrum Policy Forum and its goals of advising the government on spectrum management.
- How wireless technologies have progressed rapidly from early mobile phones to smartphones and the rise of the internet of things.
- A prediction from 12 years ago that by 2010 people would be carrying small devices replacing laptops and using extensive network services, which largely came true.
- The move towards "total mobility" where any service accessed through wired networks will eventually have a wireless final connection.
- A vision that in 10 years, the terms "fixed" and "mobile" will be obsolete as

The document summarizes the activities and future plans of Cluster 4 of the UK Spectrum Policy Forum. It discusses Cluster 4 completing its consideration of 5G parameters and review of the WRC process. It outlines future activities may include analyzing the European Commission's review of the regulatory framework for electronic communications and a possible follow up on a paper about international representation. The document also provides recommendations to improve the UK's representation at international conferences like improving advocacy skills and increasing industry involvement.
This document summarizes a research paper on performance analysis of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio using a common control channel. It discusses how cognitive radio can dynamically detect unused spectrum and allocate it to secondary users without interfering with primary users. The paper presents simulation results demonstrating the spectrum sharing process. It shows unused spectrum being allocated to new secondary users, and secondary users vacating the spectrum if a primary user needs it. The effects of noise and signal attenuation on the spectrum sharing are also analyzed through the simulation results.
The document discusses the evolving tools for spectrum licensing and administration. It outlines that licensed spectrum access remains important but new tools like Licensed Shared Access (LSA) can provide more flexible access. LSA allows additional licensees to use spectrum under an individual licensing framework and sharing rules to ensure quality of service for all users. Standardization bodies and regulators in Europe and the US are working to define LSA frameworks and identify spectrum bands that could be shared using LSA. Harmonization of allocations and sharing approaches is important to avoid fragmentation and enable economies of scale.

Thanks very much to all participants of the 1st Remote Workshop of the IEEE TCCN SIG on "Cognitive Radio for 5G" on 18-June-2014. Please find the Workshop presentation at here including a Call for Contributions for a White Paper with a focus on "New Spectrum Usage Paradigms for 5G Systems". Please use the corresponding LinkedIn forum in the "Cognitive Radio in 5G" group in order to align on contributions.
This document discusses spectrum considerations for 5G mobile networks. It notes that spectrum is a key resource that has allowed each generation of cellular technology to increase capacity. 5G will need to support significantly higher mobile data volumes and stricter requirements on coverage, reliability, and latency. This will require utilizing more spectrum bands, including higher frequency millimeter wave bands from 3 GHz to 30 GHz. 5G will rely on technologies like beamforming and carrier aggregation to improve spectral efficiency across wider system bandwidths in both licensed and unlicensed spectrum.
Open wireless network case study analysis - Ritu Raj and AmiteshRituraj Tripathi
The open spectrum group is proposing a model where both open wireless networks and property-based spectrum systems can operate in parallel, as there is currently no evidence showing which is better. They argue open networks encourage innovation, are more secure due to decentralization, have lower long-term costs for users, and that spectrum is not truly scarce. However, they recognize property rights may also have benefits. If their demands to experiment with both models are rejected, the group may stop advocating for open networks, increase public pressure through media, or lobby manufacturers to advocate on their behalf in Congress.
The document discusses the feasibility of enhancing spectrum in India. It notes that India has a very low spectrum allocation per subscriber compared to other countries. It proposes re-farming existing spectrum to make it available for newer technologies as an alternative to buying new spectrum, in order to enhance efficiency and coverage. The challenges discussed include India's bureaucracy, fragmented unsold spectrum, and need for policies supporting efficient and flexible spectrum utilization.
Use of Licence Exempt Frequency Bands: Draft ReporttechUK
The document summarizes a draft report on the use of license exempt frequency bands in the UK. It discusses the importance of license exempt bands, the status of these bands in the UK and Europe, managing interference and congestion, technology coexistence case studies, and provides initial conclusions and recommendations. The report aims to analyze license exempt spectrum use and demand to inform UK spectrum policy decisions.

Spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks IJECEIAES
Cognitive radio networks are the next step to tackle scarcity in wireless networks given the increasing demand of radioelectric spectrum where the proposed solution is to share said resource to improve this situation. In the present article, a review of the current state of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks. To achieve this purpose, the articles published over the last 4 years on the matter were reviewed including topics such as mobile networks and TV. Some studies and simulations proposed to share the spectrum is shown. The current state of the studies reveals that there has been significant progress in this research area yet it is necessary to continue similar studies and set in motion different schemes.
This document summarizes a presentation on research related to 5G technologies and the physical (PHY) layer. It discusses how PHY research is still needed to improve spectral and power efficiency through technologies like massive MIMO, small cells, and new spectrum. The presentation outlines work on uplink synchronization, carrier aggregation, modulation/coding, and integrating mobile networks with optical networks. It also describes the EU ADEL project which aims to explore Licensed Shared Access as a way to improve spectral efficiency for 5G networks through collaborative sensing and dynamic resource allocation.
Cognitive Radio: An Emerging trend for better Spectrum UtilizationEditor IJCATR
Due to the rapid development of wireless communications in recent years, the demand on wireless spectrum has been growing dramatically, resulting in the spectrum scarcity problem. Works have shown that the fixed spectrum allocation policy commonly adopted today suffer from the low spectrum utilization problem. Both academic and regulatory bodies have focused on dynamic spectrum access to fully utilize the scarce spectrum resource. Cognitive radio, with the capability to flexibly adapt its parameters, has been proposed as the enabling technology for unlicensed secondary users to dynamically access the licensed spectrum owned by legacy primary users on a negotiated or an opportunistic basis. In this paper we present a volumetric survey on various methods used to adapt changes used in cognitive radio.
This document provides an update on sharing defence managed spectrum and upcoming work. It discusses the UK government's target to release 500 MHz of public sector spectrum by 2020 and 750 MHz by 2022. The Ministry of Defence manages around two-thirds of public sector spectrum. Key bands of interest for potential sharing include 406.2-430 MHz, 1427-1452 MHz, 2300-2350 MHz, 4800-4900 MHz, 5725-5850 MHz, and 7900-8400 MHz. Feasibility studies using paper modelling have been conducted for bands in the 2.3GHz and 1.4GHz ranges but proving the modelling and impact of capability loss present challenges. Over the next six months,
Technology neutrality allows any wireless technology that fits within a spectrum band to be used without requiring or assuming a particular technology. This provides economic benefits such as promoting innovation, competition between technologies, and more efficient spectrum usage. Europe adopted the principle of technology neutrality through policies like WAPECS and by updating legislation to allow 3G technologies like UMTS900 to be used within 2G bands like 900MHz. This refarming of 2G spectrum for 3G uses provides coverage and cost benefits compared to deploying 3G only at higher frequencies.
This document provides an overview of cognitive radio networks including: the objectives of allowing unlicensed secondary users to access licensed spectrum; the centralized and distributed architectures; main issues like sensing, signaling, and spectrum decision; standards like IEEE 802.22; techniques for spectrum sensing, allocation, and sharing; cognitive radio platforms; future research directions; and conclusions. It surveys the technology and challenges of cognitive radio networks to enable efficient spectrum utilization.
Innovation and spectrum regulation and property rights : IEEE DySpan paper 2005roberto ercole
A paper from 2005.
This paper looks at the regulatory changes that are required to allow technologies such as quick and easy access to radio spectrum. Without such changes it will not be possible for DySPAN technologies to make the inroads into the market, that are required to ensure spectrum is used with the optimum economic efficiency. This access to market requires greater use of a technology neutral spectrum property right.

The document discusses the IEEE 802.22 standard for cognitive radio wireless regional area networks (WRANs). It describes how cognitive radio technology can help address the spectrum crunch by efficiently utilizing vacant TV bands and other licensed spectrum. The standard defines the MAC and PHY layer specifications for a cognitive radio system, including spectrum sensing, mobility, sharing, and a superframe structure to manage communication in available TV channels while avoiding interference with primary users. The goal is to provide wireless connectivity over distances of up to 30 km using the cognitive radio capabilities defined in the 802.22 standard.

4) Examples are provided of spectrum approaches taken in other countries like the Netherlands and proposals in Ireland
The document discusses the 406.1-430 MHz frequency range and updates from the UK Spectrum Policy Forum meeting. It notes there appears to be demand for spectrum from multiple industry players in this range due to the UK UHF2 band plan. It also mentions the potential for increased sharing between the private sector and Ministry of Defense, subject to technical studies. Ofcom is establishing a group to examine the nature of demand in this area and consider remaining process issues.
The Spectrum Central Management Unit (CMU) is responsible for delivering the UK's public sector spectrum release programme and improving strategic spectrum use across government. The CMU brings a commercial and policy perspective to managing spectrum. Its objectives are to release spectrum from public to private use to generate economic and financial value. Over 384MHz of spectrum has already been released or shared towards the programme's 2022 target of releasing 750MHz below 10GHz. Challenges include changing spectrum needs, pressure for more efficient use, and balancing commercial and departmental priorities. Relationships and evidence are key to progressing decisions on release or sharing.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Shefali Sharma on her secondment to the British Deputy High Commission in Bengaluru, India from July to October 2017. The objectives of the secondment were to assess opportunities for UK space exports and Indian investment in the UK space industry, identify barriers faced by UK companies, and provide recommendations. Key opportunities identified included commercial and science space missions, smart cities projects, and telemedicine. Barriers included ISRO dominance, lack of UK awareness, and the competitive and relationship-driven nature of the Indian market. The presentation concludes with contact details for Shefali Sharma and her point of contact at the Department for International Trade.
The document discusses strategies for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to support the growth of the UK space industry. It outlines an aim to attract high value FDI to help grow the industry to £40 billion by 2030. The Department for International Trade (DIT) Space Team's strategy involves developing relationships with existing foreign space companies in the UK as well as identifying new potential investors. The DIT provides services to support both UK companies exporting and attracting investment into the UK space sector. A new vision targets attracting 20 new space FDI opportunities per year through 2021 with an estimated £3 billion in additional investment. Recommendations include high-level government engagement, marketing the UK as a hub for space innovation, developing
This document discusses priorities for UK space exports and trade negotiations following Brexit. It notes that the UK space industry generates over £5 billion in exports annually, with top markets in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. Key barriers include restricted government procurement, commercial restrictions, weak IP enforcement, and regulatory barriers. The document identifies priority countries for new trade agreements, including the US, India, China, Japan, and countries in the Gulf. It outlines opportunities and barriers in these markets, and provides examples of provisions in existing EU trade deals to boost space sector access. Officials seek industry feedback on identified priorities and barriers.
The document summarizes feedback from a UK workshop focused on opportunities in the US space market. Attendees identified strengths like small satellites and deployable systems, but also weaknesses such as a limited domestic market and technical base. Barriers to the UK exporting more to the US included difficulty seeing requirements, lack of direct marketing, and integrated US companies. The conclusion was that a strategy was needed to develop exports to major US buyers through improved promotion, intelligence, cooperation and connecting with investors.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
2. 1
• Why spectrum sharing?
• Issues to be considered
• Dynamic spectrum sharing – TV White Space
• Next Steps
3. What do we mean by Spectrum sharing
• When we talk about spectrum sharing we simply mean spectrum that is used by more
than one access method or type of user for more than one type of use
• we have measured where there are different uses in the same band (Ofcom managed,
licence exempt, block assigned, Space Science, Public Sector, or two or more Ofcom
Managed licence classes (e.g. Fixed links and satellite)
• This analysis shows sharing occurs in 58% of the spectrum bands.
• This is likely to be an underestimate of sharing as it does not include sharing between
users and uses within spectrum that is exclusively used by the public sector or space
science.
• And where spectrum is shared it is normally extensively shared, by more than two uses
with as many as 4 sharing the same spectrum

• We have categorised the spectrum accessed for market uses:
• Ofcom standard licence products - Ofcom Managed (OM): 50%
• Licences assigned for large blocks of spectrum - Block assigned (BA):12%
• Licence exemption regulations – licence exempt (LE): 20%
• and 2% of the spectrum being currently un –assigned – all above 45GHz
• 26 % of market use spectrum shared using two or more authorisation methods representing 20% of total weighted spectrum
• Sharing between uses and authorisation methods already delivering significant benefits
Note:
1 This view considers sharing within market uses
and so does not consider the sharing of OM, LE
and BA with public sector and space science.
2 Unassigned spectrum includes bands where use
has not yet been authorised, these are: 66-71
GHz, 47.2 to 47.9GHz and 45.5 to 47GHz, which
are all extension bands for satellite use but where

• Licensed access by different dimensions:
• In frequency – with individual licences each with a specific frequency range
or with concurrent access for several licensees to the same range of
frequencies
• In geography – with licences covering the whole of the UK, or specific
geographical areas, or defining the location of transmitting equipment
• In time – some licences are indefinite in duration and others have a fixed
duration
• In technical conditions – to manage risk of harmful interference between
uses and users through pre-defined limits and/or self-coordination
• Licence exemption: default position where use of the spectrum is not likely to
cause undue interference. Will need to comply with specific technical
requirements and may be constrained by any/all of the above dimensions.
7. 6
• Why spectrum sharing?
• Issues to be considered
• Dynamic spectrum sharing – TV White Space
• Next Steps
8. Why worry about spectrum sharing
• Growing competing demand for spectrum from all sectors
• Becoming more and more difficult to find/create clear spectrum
• Limited opportunities to clear and release the spectrum for new uses
• So new uses might need to share
7
9. Issues for more sharing and new ways of sharing
8
• Options for concurrent access to spectrum for several licensees
• Eg 1781/1880 MHz “DECT guard band” spectrum with all having
same rights
• Options for licensed/authorised shared access – different users get
different rights with different priority levels
• See White Space pilot approach
• Tools for managing shared/pooled spectrum : databases, sensing, market
mechanisms etc
• Identify conditions of access that would support the successful operation
of each service
• Establish clear rules for the relative rights between existing users and new
users
• Establish rules for the relative rights amongst new users
We are keen to understand whether new technologies
and new spectrum access models might facilitate such
access.
10. 9
Understanding business needs
• Sharing requires coexistence along a number of dimensions
– Frequency
– Location (fixed or dynamic)
– Time (both short and long term)
– Power level
• Conditions of access need to support successful planning of commercial activities over
their specific timescales
• How can we best understand/Take into account business needs of different and new
uses, e.g. 5G, but also existing uses?
11. 10
• Why spectrum sharing?
• Issues to be considered
• Dynamic spectrum sharing – TV White Space
• Next Steps
12. 11
Database managed dynamic spectrum access
• Consultation published last year, hoping to publish a Statement in the next few weeks
setting out our decision on how to take this forward.
• Intention is: licence exempt access for equipment that meets technical standards and
that only transmits at any given time within parameters (frequency and power) specific
to its location and technical characteristics provided by an authorised database
• Database has all the information about existing users and all the coexistence
requirements. Information can be changed realtime if required.
• Relies on knowledge of location of white space devices. The more the devices can tell
the databases about where they are and what they are the more likely they are to have
frequency options.
TV White Space project
13. TV White Space project – wider lessons for sharing
• First opportunity to test dynamic allocation by database – lots to learn from it
• Opportunistic access to spectrum – probably suited to limited range of uses,
opportunity for innovation
• No ability to prioritise between white space traffic – will this be an issue
• Protection only goes one way – how can users get the most out of the
available spectrum (e.g. sensing)?
12
14. 13
• Why spectrum sharing?
• Issues to be considered
• Dynamic spectrum sharing – TV White Space
• Next Steps
15. 14
Next steps
• We are looking at all these issues around sharing
• Interested in output from cluster 2 work – in particular, we are interested in any
information you can give us on the business needs that sharing should seek to
address
• Planning to publish a consultation later this year on potential sharing models,
and potential new spectrum sharing opportunities more generally and their
associated spectrum management implications
