I would like to extend my wishes for a Happy New Year to all our members in the Spectrum Management Community! I am looking forward to building on our efforts from last year as we continue to develop the standards necessary to integrate spectrum management functions with day-day network operations. One company I was reading about at the end of last year, Eden Rock Communications, is a good example with which to kick off the new year. Eden Rock offers a LTE optimization solution called Eden-NET™... -
Our Spectrum Community has been quiet for the past few weeks, after the push to complete our technical reports TR170 and TR171. While those are in the final review process, I’ve been doing some reading and I suggest the following item for your consideration. One of the commercial use cases we discussed in TR171 involved the offloading of traffic from licensed spectrum to unlicensed (e.g. using WiFi). In catching up on my reading, I came across a white paper by a company called Greenpacket,... -
Those of us on the East Coast of the US had a first hand experience of a disaster response use case on Aug 23. It was a 5.8 magnitude earthquake centered 100 miles southwest of Washington, DC. As CNN reports ( link here ), in the minutes after the quake, cell phone service ground to a halt. As I ran out of my office building, I was already expecting it, so I simply dashed off a text message to my loved ones to make sure everyone was OK. Although, I confess I tried the voice call first, just to see... -
I am definitely looking forward to Team Action Week in Baltimore. It’s hot, humid and the crab population is rebounding…..a perfect Baltimore summer! In contrast to the crab population, the availability of spectrum is definitely on the decline, making the upcoming TAW a perfect time to discuss what we are doing in TM Forum in the area of Spectrum Management. Just to recap, last year we started the Spectrum Management Community, which has grown rapidly to more than 75 members from over... -
At the upcoming Team Action Week in Baltimore, we will be holding a Spectrum Roundtable session on the topic of Commercial Use Cases which illustrate the need for increased integration between spectrum management and network management systems. We would like to understand better the dynamic processes in CSP operations that directly affect the use of spectrum. A few examples that come to mind include; network adaptation to traffic conditions; interference reporting and resolution; and traffic management... -
In January, Qualcomm and Nokia wrote a joint response to the European Radio Spectrum Policy Group regarding their consultation on a draft Opinion on Cognitive Radio Technologies. In their brief response, Qualcomm and Nokia make a bold proposal to establish a new approach to sharing licensed spectrum on a dynamic basis. While avoiding the questions of implementation, they describe the concept, called Authorised Shared Access (ASA), as one in which cognitive radio technologies enable an incumbent operator... -
In a recent ex-parte filing with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), T-Mobile and Sprint presented analysis of LTE Release 8 which illustrates how the standard can support priority access by the public safety community. The analysis, performed by Roberson and Associates, offers a number of architectural approaches to sharing network resources, so that public safety has guaranteed access and priority treatment, and allowing the commercial network to leverage public safety capacity, when... -
A few weeks ago the US Federal Communications Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry (ET Docket No. 10-237, "Promoting More Efficient Use of Spectrum Through Dynamic Spectrum Use Technologies"). See link: http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/proceeding/view?z=p5q79&name=10-237 for the NOI and responses. Paragraph #55 in the NOI, states that the FCC is interested in knowing whether there is "more that the Commission can do through its participation in the technical community to help advance... -
At the monthly Gov’t/Defense telecon yesterday, I introduced a topic that I hope we will be discussing more in the coming weeks and months: spectrum management. In the US, the FCC National Broadband Plan calls for spectrum policy reform to support innovation in wireless broadband. The FCC suggests that needed reforms include “making more spectrum available on a flexible basis.” Clearly, spectrum management is becoming an increasingly complex aspect to wireless service provider operations... -
The growing demand for wireless services worldwide is creating congestion which can be addressed by increased spectrum efficiency or by obtaining more spectrum; or both. Increased spectrum flexibility will more efficiently meet customer demands. A Spectrum Management Interest Group is being launched to consider standardization of Spectrum Management architectures, processes, information and data models, applications, interfaces, and testing. Interested members are encouraged to join via the Spectrum...
