Abstract
Predictions on the growing mobile traffic have motivated
investigations on spectrum sharing concepts to unlock
spectrum for mobile use in regulatory and research fora
all over the world. This paper presents an overview of
recent spectrum sharing regulatory and research
development in Europe and US that are aiming to make new
spectrum available for mobile communication systems in
the bands identified for International Mobile
Telecommunications (IMT) on a shared basis while
protecting the rights of the incumbent spectrum users.
The efficiency of the spectrum usage on these bands could
be significantly increased by authorizing mobile network
operators (MNOs) to access bands that are currently used
by other type of incumbents, such as satellite,
broadcasting etc. In particular, the paper considers the
two recent regulatory models: Licensed Shared Access
(LSA) from Europe and Three-Tier Hierarchy Model from the
US where both incumbents and entrants are guaranteed
certain quality of service (QoS) conditions. In this
paper, the role of the incumbent as the current holder of
spectrum rights of use is highlighted as it is critical
for creating a sharing framework that offers attracting
operational conditions for both the incumbent and the
entrant. Some guidelines are provided on the critical
factors and concerns from the incumbent perspective
regarding spectrum sharing models. Additionally, some
challenges specific to satellite bands are discussed
