Radio spectrum is a vital asset and resource for mobile network operators. With spectrum in the 800 and 900 MHz bands coverage can be provided with fewer base station sites compared to higher frequency bands like 2.1 and 2.6 GHz. With more spectrum, i.e. wider bandwidth, operators can offer...

Increasing demand for access to the radio spectrum is setting the stage for a revision of existing radio spectrum management practices. A new wave of spectrum policy reforms can be envisaged, with a potential shift of policy focus from static to dynamic efficiency. This might translate into a...

Because fourth-generation(4G) mobile communications services are rooted in heterogeneous multibands, a unified managementregime fails toaccommodate spectral heterogeneity. This study examined an adequate regimein the 4G era that maximizes spectrum efficiency. A conjoint analysis was conducted to...
