Spectrum Management Reforms: A Step Towards a Flexible Spectrum Management

This paper highlights the discrepancies in the current structure of the policy & regulatory framework of spectrum management. Some driving forces for the spectral reforms have also been discussed here. Innovative techniques for spectrum management and also to increase the spectral efficiency have also been proposed for the harmonization and standardization of this sector. This paper also discusses the market and technological pressures contributing towards a flexible and more liberalized approach for spectrum management. Conclusion has been drawn at the end while keeping in mind all the appropriate techniques to be used in the world for the allocation of radio frequency spectrum.
