Spectrum sharing for LTE-A and DTT: Field trials of an indoor LTE-A femtocell in DVB-T2 service area

Abstract:

In the near future, many applications such as environmental sensors, smart objects, health sensors, and personal devices will be connected to mobile networks requiring additional spectrum. Studies have been made to demonstrate a low occupancy time and locations on the digital terrestrial television (DTT) band. This available or unused spectrum have been called “TV-White-Spaces.” In the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference, the ITU decided to re-allocate the 700 MHz band (694-790 MHz) for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) services and also emplaced the discussion of the future use of the DTT band (470-694 MHz) to 2025, for which studies have been requested. In this paper, we study a particular case which goes a step beyond the previous ones, as it aims at sharing the same frequency band in the same area between long term evolution-advance (LTE-A) and digital video …
