Abstract

White space communications have attracted a particular interest after some national regulators have authorized TVWS unlicensed secondary usage. The IEEE 1900.7 working group has defined a specific air interface tailored to these applications. The standard, is based on an Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC) physical layer and a CSMA-CA MAC sublayer. In this paper, the Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) of the IEEE 1900.7-2015 are considered to assess simulated expectations on throughput and coverage under various typical TVWS deployment scenarios: Fixed Long Range Access, campus WLAN (in Fixed Urban/Suburban environments), Indoor Femtocells (a TVWS low power transceiver for WLAN-like applications). Expected rate and coverage maps are provided for these scenarios.
