NICOP - Fast Spectrum File Sharing: A Theoretical and Practical Perspective

Abstract

In the context of capacity crunch, this research proposal addresses an emerging problem in radiospectrum sharing systems namely to" what extent ~fast spectrum sharing~ is possible and whetherextremely dynamic spectrum sharing on a packet by packet basis or even within a packet transmissioncan be made practical. Solving this problem is critical not only from the perspective of efficientspectrum usage and the success of spectrum access system (SAS) but also from the point of view ofenabling new and innovative applications of spectrum sharing in both commercial and militarysectors. Apart from providing analytical bounds on the performance of fast s"pectrum sharing, thisproposal will also provide practical fast spectrum sharing algorithms, enabling SAS to evolve tomonitor and a""llocate spectrum resources on a fine-grained resolution of a meter-by-meter basis, inorder to maximise spectrum utilisation efficie""ncy in both time and space. Furthermore, the feasibilityof proposed solutions will be assessed on a real hardware platform at Unive"rsity of Surrey~s 5Gtestbed that consists of a live 4G+ cellular network with 2~20 MHz carriers running over 65 small /large cell base stations deployed outdoor and indoors. The outcomes from this research in the form ofalgorithms and publications will enhance US naval office~s and other federal agencies~ strategiccapabilities with regards to an ever smarter and efficient radio spectrum usage.
