  1. Introduction to White Space I-D: draft-probasco-paws-overview-usecases Basavaraj Patil, Thomas Derryberry, Scott Probasco, Subir Das

  2. Overview • Introduce White Space concept • Why use White Space • How does White Space work • Relevance of PAWS work to IETF

  3. What is White Space (WS)? • White space (WS): In a spectrum band that is licensed to primary users, the part of spectrum that is unused by the primary user at specific locations and sometimes at specific time. • Example: Television Channels – not every channel is used in every town • White space allows secondary users to use the portions of spectrum not actually used by the primary user. This increases the amount of available spectrum • A key requirement is to protect the primary user from any interference. • Opportunity for new method of access and business Received Signal Strength Occupied TV Channels (at given location) White space 5 30 15 25 35 10 20 45 40 TV Channel

  4. Why use White Space? • Radio spectrum is a finite resource, controlled & allocated by National Governments • Spectrum resources can be better (or more optimally) utilized • Governments around the world are investigating ways to increase available spectrum • A typical example is the National Broadband Plan in the United States: • Expand opportunities for innovative spectrum access models by creating new avenues for opportunistic and unlicensed use of spectrum and increasing research into new spectrum technologies. • Similar thinking in other Countries around the world • White space does not replace Wi-Fi, or other, it adds extra capacity

  5. How does White Space work? • AP is installed, powered onRegisters with DBSends Channel List Request, including locationGets Channel List • MS scans and finds AP. Associates with AP • AP assigns channel (which must be on Channel List from DB) • MS connects to internet via the AP, e.g. Web Browsing → Requires database service for specific locations and times,“ask and answer”

  6. Why PAWS is needed? • Many Regions & Countries interested in White Space • European Union, United Kingdom, United States, India, Singapore, … • Each having jurisdiction to write own operational requirements • Different spectrum bands are being considered, not just TV bands • Many different kinds of devices may be able to use the same spectrum • Single Global Standard • Country independent • Spectrum band independent • Device (phy/mac) independent
