Abstract

In this paper we discuss the results of the conducted experiment, where dedicated databases have been used for management of deployment of indoor small-cells. As the transmission has been realized in the TV band, the ultimate goal of the study was initialize new data transmission in a spectrum sharing mode while protecting the DVB-T signal. Every time when the cognitive user wanted to initiate new transmission, it asked the database for permission and for a set of parameters defining transmit opportunities. The experiment has been carried out with two sets of USRP N210 devices.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Please notice, however, that the selection of the transmission scheme is not critical in our experiment, and one can easily exchange the GMSK modulation scheme with the one widely considered for white space transmission, such as multicarrier schemes (OFDM) from IEEE 802.11af, or its filtered version (FBMC) from IEEE 1900.7 standard.
