The IEEE TCCN SIG for "Cognitive Radio in 5G" had organized a first Remote Workshop on 18-June-2014. A call for contributions on a White Paper is issued with a focus on "New Spectrum Usage Paradigms for 5G"

In the context of 5G activities, a 1000(0)x increase of capacity is targeted
New dedicated licensed bands
(e.g., spectrum under
discussion towards WRC-15)
Issue: limited opportunities
Spectrum Sharing (e.g.
Licensed Shared Access in 2.3-
2.4 GHz in Europe)
New mmWave spectrum (10/28-
90 GHz, licensed/unicensed)
New rules for unlicensed
Spectrum for WiFi (5 GHz) or
TVWS
In the literature, typically the
following working directions
are addressed
• Spectrum
• Spectral Efficiency
• Base Station Densification

European Commission issued standardization mandate (M/512),
ETSI develops corresponding Licensed Shared Access (LSA) Standards
in respose to the mandate
European Regulators collaborate closely with ETSI in order to resolve
Regulation hurdles, defining for example spectrum access conditions
For Licensed Shared Access in 2.3-2.4 GHz (CEPT WG FM PT52/53)
Integrated approach to dynamically authorizing access to the Priority Access
and General Authorized Access (GAA) tiers of the 3.5 GHz Band: approach
towards implementing the next generation of spectrum management systems
ETSI develops standards for Licensed Shared Access, in particular
A System Architecture Design standard is in preparation

European Regulators considerTVWS Access in 470-790 MHz, in
Particular in CEPT Working Group Frequency Management, Project
Team PT53
Provision of rules forTVWS Access, use of the spectrum with geolocation
based channel allocation.
ETSI published and still elaborates standards for opportunistic
And/or coordinated access toTVWS. A Harmonized Standard for
OpportunisticTVWS Access was recently adopted.
IEEE published severalTVWS related standards, in particular
IEEE 802.11af is an extension ofWiFi toTVWS spectrum („super WiFi“)
„White Space“ (ETSI TR 102945): part of the spectrum, which is available for a radio communication
application (service, system) at a given time in a given geographical area on a non-interfering / non-
protected basis with regard to primary services and other services with a higher priority on a national basis.

12. • Based on EC Mandate M/512, ETSI ERM/RRS have developed a Shared
Spectrum related System Reference Document (SRdoc): TR 103 113
• Mobile broadband services in the 2 300 MHz – 2 400 MHz frequency band under
Licensed Shared Access regime, the following example architecture was presented:
13. Key system components include:
• The LSA Repository is a data-base which receives a-priori information on future availability of LSA spectrum
to concerned cellular operators – as well as information on exclusion zones, protection zones and future
intended requests for vacating LSA bands, triggered by Incumbents following the conditions in the Sharing
Agreement.
• The LSA Controller typically accesses the information in the LSA Repository and processes it in order to
identify specific spectrum opportunities to be granted to cellular operators for a specific geographic area, a
specific period of time and a specific spectrum band. Typically, the operator requests access to LSA
spectrum for a given Base Station / Cell or a group of Base Stations / Cells. The LSA Controller exploits all
available information and identifies the best available solutions for the concerned cellular operator, taking
into account the information provided by the Incumbents to the LSA Repository, the requirements of the
concerned cellular operator (taking for example specific infrastructure configurations and preferences into
account) and possibly statistical historical data, concerning the behavior of the Incumbent, for example with
respect to a possible emergency vacating of the LSA bands (in accordance to the applicable Sharing
Agreement).
• The Operations, Administration and Management (OA&M) entity is the contact point of the concerned
cellular operator with the LSA system and will interact with the LSA Controller in order to
authorize/update/terminate access to the concerned LSA bands over geographic area, time and spectrum
band.
