Abstract
This demonstration presents a live spectrum sharing trial
of the new Licensed Shared Access (LSA)/ Authorised
Shared Access (ASA) concept. The trial shows the
feasibility of the LSA/ASA concept and demonstrates how a
mobile network operator (MNO) could take a new shared
LSA/ASA band into use in a straight forward manner in
response to the growing traffic demand while protecting
the rights of the incumbent spectrum users. The trial
uses a real TD-LTE mobile communication network in the
2.3-2.4 GHz band and shares spectrum with incumbent
spectrum users, e.g. programme making and special events
(PMSE) services in Finland, under the European LSA
framework. In the trial the incumbent spectrum users'
rights are protected by storing their spectrum usage and
requests into an LSA/ASA Repository and evacuating the
LSA/ASA band on-demand. When receiving the evacuation
request from the incumbent via the LSA/ASA Repository,
the MNO reconfigures its network using an LSA/ASA
Controller that commands its network management tool to
clear the requested parts of the LSA/ASA band and hands
over its users to alternative networks. The trial,
located in Finland, implements the LSA/ASA concept with
commercial end user equipment, TD-LTE network, and
network management system, with a minimum number of new
components, namely LSA/ASA Repository and LSA/ASA
Controller which are developed for the trial. The LSA/ASA
concept has significant business potential as it enables
the use of globally identified IMT bands, such as 2.3-2.4
GHz band, for mobile communications on a shared basis
when they are available while protecting the rights of
existing incumbent users
