17. To illustrate the proposed System Architecture, three deployment scenarios are presented • Different TVBD networks operated by one operator • Centralized coexistence approach • Different and independently operated TVBD networks or devices (operated by users or some local operators) • Autonomous coexistence approach • Different and independently operated TVBD networks or devices in large-scale metropolitan area • Distributed coexistence approach • Deployment examples may be added as an appendix in SDD Illustration of System Architecture Ruuska (Nokia), Tran (NICT) et al

18. Deployment scenario 1 CDB OME CM TVWS DB TVBD CE TVBD CE TVBD network TVBD network Ruuska (Nokia), Tran (NICT) et al

19. Different TVBD networks operated by one operator: Centralized coexistence approach One CM is managing many CEs (i.e. TVBD networks or devices) CM is placed outside the TVBD devices and network OME provides coexistence policy to CM to assist TVDB devices or networks CDB helps CM in discovering other CM managing TVBD devices/networks in the area Deployment scenario 1 Ruuska (Nokia), Tran (NICT) et al

20. Deployment scenario 2 TVWS DB CBD TVBD TVBD CM CM CE CE TVBD network TVBD network Ruuska (Nokia), Tran (NICT) et al

21. Different and independently operated TVBD networks or devices (operated by users or some local operators): Autonomous coexistence approach CM is placed inside the TVBD devices CDB helps CM discovering other CM managing TVBD devices/networks in the area All CMs may not be connected to TVWS BD (e.g. in sensing only device) Deployment scenario 2 Ruuska (Nokia), Tran (NICT) et al

22. Deployment scenario 3 CM TVWS DB TVBD network cluster CBD TVBD TVBD TVBD TVBD CM CM CM CM CE CE CE CE TVBD network 1 TVBD network 2 Ruuska (Nokia), Tran (NICT) et al

23. Different and independently operated TVBD networks or devices in large-scale metropolitan area: Distributed coexistence approach • These networks are grouped into clusters where each cluster contains two or more networks • Two coexistence problems exist in this scenario • Coexistence problem between individual networks within each cluster due to the interference caused by adjacent networks (Intra-cluster) • Coexistence problem between clusters due to the aggregated interference of each cluster (inter-cluster) • The embedded CMs for decision making provide coexistence decision towards solving the “intra-cluster” coexistence problem • The central CM provides coexistence decision to solve the “inter-cluster” coexistence problem • Based on the previous decisions central CM provides coexistence guidelines, policies, or commands to embedded CMs Deployment scenario 3 Ruuska (Nokia), Tran (NICT) et al

24.
