Field trial results for a Wi-Fi based spectrum sharing technology in TVWS

We describe performance results for a Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) Platform, including over-the-air data captured outdoors near our Melville, NY facility and in an indoor office environment. The DSM system configuration used to generate the results, and the flexibility of the DSM system that allows it to operate in different bandwidth TV channels are presented. The results include data throughput, received signal strength indicator (RSSI), signal-to-noise plus interference (SNIR) and spectrum coexistence data. We analyze the results, including the advantages and efficiency of channel aggregation, and discuss lessons learned during the measurement campaign that apply to future deployments of spectrum sharing equipment.
