    Episode 25.04 TR 2016 and 2017 Andy Clegg

    Today we're talking with Andy Clegg of Baylor University and CTO of the Forum about his new Highly Dynamic Spectrum Sharing Work Group and their newly published technical reports created to address spectrum sharing solutions for the future. Main points (AI generated): 0:50 – 2:32 Andy explains the creation of the Highly Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (HDSS) Task Group within the Wireless Innovation Forum. Goal: extend spectrum sharing techniques (like CBRS and 6 GHz AFC) to support faster reconfiguration on much shorter time scales. TR 2017 defines time scales and provides a framework for “highly dynamic spectrum sharing” (H-DSS). TR 2016 builds on that and explores how to implement it with techniques and technologies. 2:32 – 4:19 TR 2017: defines time scales for different spectrum sharing regimes globally, leading to a new definition of H-DSS (sharing in seconds, not minutes/hours). TR 2016: explores techniques to make sharing more flexible and dynamic. 4:19 – 13:10 Key techniques and concepts discussed in TR 2016: Distributed incumbent sensing – using more, smaller sensors to improve detection and reduce false positives. RAN-based sensing – using base stations and handsets to detect incumbents, though technically challenging. Incumbent self-sensing – placing sensors directly with incumbents (e.g., on ships). DoD not yet supportive. Dynamic Protection Areas (DPAs) – extending and refining DPA neighborhoods, including airborne applications. Informing Incumbent Capability (IIC) – online portals for military to announce operations, enabling faster SAS adjustments. Closed-loop interference feedback – allowing incumbents to report actual interference, preventing overprotection and maximizing spectrum efficiency. Clutter detection – using sensing (possibly GPS-based) to measure environmental interference (trees, buildings, etc.) for more precise protection. 13:12 – 15:00 Future plans: Iterating and refining TR 2016. Adding more detail and results from ongoing experiments. Making TR 2016 a serial publication. Encouraging non-members to join and contribute to the HDSS task group.
