Abstract
This paper presents results from spectrum occupancy
measurements in the 2.3-2.4 GHz band at Turku, Finland.
The band is currently under study in European regulation
and standardization for mobile communication systems. We
review the recently introduced Licensed Shared Access
(LSA) concept as a potential means for making the 2.3-2.4
GHz band available for mobile communications on a shared
basis while protecting the rights of the incumbent
spectrum users. The spectrum occupancy measurements
conducted in one location in Finland show that the use of
this band is rather low indicating that there might be
potential for mobile communication systems to share this
band with the incumbents under the LSA approach. Based on
the obtained knowledge about the use of the studied band
in Finland we create a set of guidelines for LSA to make
the operation efficient both from the technical and
economic viewpoint.
