Unlicensed spectrum indeed initiates high-data rate wireless services with the combination of the great success of Wi-Fi technology. Interestingly, the local high data rate services are deployed and invested by non-traditional local actors, e.g., facility owners who have local fixed line...

We describe the basic economic theory of cost model for network deployment and spectrum in wireless networks. In particular, we develop a production function for wireless networks. With this production function model, we explore the technical rate of substitution and the elasticity of...

In this paper, we will investigate the potential opportunities and challenges for deploying a converged platform in the UHF Broadcasting band (470-790 MHz) to replace the legacy systems and provide terrestrial audio-visual and dataservice. As recent development shows, both mobile broadband and...

The large expected increase in the capacity requirements raises not only technical issues but also regulatory and business challenges. One of the key methods to increase the capacity of mobile networks in a cost efficient way is to find additional frequency spectrum. However, it is a difficult...
