    Abstract

    The ASCENT project studies spectrum sharing between
    satellite and cellular networks using a Licensed Shared
    Access (LSA) approach, in which information stored in a
    database is exploited to enable spectrum sharing between
    users. The project focuses on one side 5G pioneer bands 3.4-
    3.8 GHz and 24.25-27.5 GHz, which are well-recognised as
    satellite frequency bands, and on the other side on legacy
    IMT frequency bands. We identified different spectrum
    sharing scenarios and defined four use cases. We have
    developed an LSA system testbed, which is used to study and
    validate the interest of the LSA approach in
    satellite/terrestrial sharing scenarios.
    The results of our simulations and the tests realized on the
    testbed show that the LSA approach could be used to
    improve spectrum sharing between satellite and terrestrial
    networks. This approach could be envisaged to facilitate
    spectrum sharing between terrestrial mobile network such as
    International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) and satellite
    networks operating in a same frequency band. Such an
    approach could offer new spectrum sharing opportunities
    which could benefit to both mobile and satellite community.
    The LSA testbed and the results of the project will be further
    utilized to develop and assess new sharing scenarios that
    could lead to creating new spectrum opportunities for
    different radiocommunication systems.
