Abstract
As the amount of mobile data continues to grow rapidly,
finding frequency bands without incumbent usage for
mobile network operators (MNOs) in a harmonized manner
becomes increasingly challenging. This motivates the
search for new methods to increase the efficiency of
current spectrum usage by exploring the new possibilities
to allow multiple services to share the same frequency
band in a controlled manner. This kind of spectrum
sharing should be conducted in a way that requires
minimum changes to the functionalities and the
architecture of the systems involved and especially to
the current holders of the spectrum usage rights, thus,
the incumbent spectrum users. In this paper, we
concentrate on the emerging Licensed Shared Access (LSA)
concept which is currently receiving a lot of attention
in European regulation and standardization. We discuss
different types of incumbents and the critical factors
for allowing spectrum sharing with LSA from their
perspective. Finally, we propose an architecture for LSA
that takes into account these critical factors while
guaranteeing certain quality of service (QoS) conditions
for all involved systems.
