Abstract:
Radio frequency spectrum is one of the most important resources for both contemporary and next generation wireless communications (NGWC) systems. Therefore, utilization of the radio frequency spectrum is a critical task. Reliable occupancy statistics are key to such utilization. Considering the fact that Turkey will migrate to digital terrestrial TV broadcast in the near future, a specific portion of the radio frequency spectrum will be available. Hence, occupancy statistics and relevant analyses are mandatory for both contemporary and NGWC systems. Results of high-resolution multi-band spectrum occupancy measurements at 900MHz downlink band for Istanbul metropolitan are presented. Two of the prominent evaluation methods and corresponding occupancy statistics are given in a comparative manner. It is observed that parameters of the evaluation methods affect the occupancy statistics drastically.
