A new incumbent protection method based on three-dimensional beamforming for dynamic spectrum access

Abstract

In this letter, we propose a new incumbent protection method that considers three-dimensional (3D) aspects of 5G beamforming characteristics in dynamic spectrum access (DSA). We show some computer simulation results in which fixed wireless access (FWA)-based primary system (PS) and 5G-based secondary system (SS) were assumed to be deployed in a 26 GHz band. The results show that the proposed method can increase allowable transmission power of the SS by considering the 3D beamforming aspects, and that PS and SS height deployment information can additionally bring benefits to the proposed method in terms of the allowable transmission power in DSA.
