Tutorial Outline

  • Introduction
    • Introduction to spectrum management: terminology and interference problems
    • Spectrum policy primer: spectrum rights frameworks (i.e. spectrum commons, licensed, tiered 3.5 GHz, etc.)
    • Spectrum sharing — A system level view: technical and non-technical aspects and parameters that influence the
      design of spectrum sharing mechanisms
  • Inter-technology spectrum sharing within a hierarchical regulatory framework
    • Primary/primary coexistence
    • Secondary/secondary coexistence
    • Primary/secondary coexistence
    • Main takeaways
  • Inter-technology coexistence in a spectrum commons
    • Coexistence with low traffic technologies, e.g. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, Wi-Fi/IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 802.11 VANET/cellular V2X
    • Coexistence among broadband technologies: IEEE 802.x technologies, Wi-Fi/LTE coexistence
    • Main takeaways
  • Emerging trends in spectrum sharing
    • Overview of current worldwide spectrum regulation trends
    • Spectrum management for Wi-Fi 6E coexisting with incumbents in the 6 GHz unlicensed band
    • Spectrum management for 5G-and-beyond mm-wave systems
    • Spectrum sharing and coexistence case studies in mm-wave bands
  • Lessons learned & open research questions
