The Problem
Insufficient Spectrum
Wireless Strategies Inc.
Wireless Operator’s View
“A wireless operator without enough spectrum is like
a body without enough blood… If you don't have
enough blood you're going to face major medical
challenges. Likewise, Wireless operators will need
more spectrum to be able to offer new services and
applications.”
-Ali Tabassi, Vice President Innovative
Technologies, Sprint-Nextel
Wireless Strategies Inc.
Equipment Manufacturer’s View
In 2006, the CEO Council (CEOs from Motorola,
Intel, IBM, HP, Dell etc.) called on the U.S.
government to find more spectrum for use as new
applications emerge.
Wireless Strategies Inc.
The Problem

The amount of microwave spectrum is finite and has
been assigned.

It takes many years for the FCC to go through the
regulatory process of re-assigning spectrum (usually
from Point-To-Point Fixed to Multipurpose,
PTMP/Mobile).
Wireless Strategies Inc.
Solution
The Reuse
of
Existing Licensed Spectrum
by the
Licensed Operator
without causing
Additional Interference.

Perfect
Antenna
Wireless Strategies Inc.
Path Coordination
In a Perfect World there is only the Main Lobe,
and therefore only the Main Lobe has to be
considered
Wireless Strategies Inc.
The Reality
Wireless Strategies Inc.
Path Coordination
In the Real World there are Side Lobes and therefore
the Side Lobes must be Concurrently Coordinated
with the Main Lobe.
Wireless Strategies Inc.
The Status Quo
Paths designed for and operated with Legacy
Equipment have not put the Antenna Side-Lobe
Radiation to Productive Use.
Wireless Strategies Inc.
The Industry Opportunity
Use Emerging (IEEE 802.16 – WiMAX – TDD –
Smart Antenna) Technologies to Put the Antenna
Side-Lobe Radiation to Productive Use Under
Existing Rules without Causing Additional
Interference.

Innovation
The FCC has consistently promoted the national
policy set forth in Section 257 of the
Communications Act by enabling industry operators
and equipment providers to maximize the efficient
use of spectrum and facilitate innovative services and
product offerings.

Facilitating Innovation
The Commission’s Rules specify the technical
requirements (not how the technical
requirements are met)
Wireless Strategies Inc.
Regulations Specify

The Shape and Size of the Radiation Pattern
Envelope (Tx power x antenna gain) and the
location from which it emanates.

They do NOT specify HOW* it is achieved
(TWTA, SSA with a Parabolic dish with a
dipole, a Flat Panel, or a Multi-Array, etc).
*By not specifying HOW, the Commission allows and
encourages industry to innovate.

Antenna System Regulations
The location and radiation pattern of an antenna
system’s radiator(s) has never been specified and has
never been a cause of concern, because it is the level
of Interfering signal “I” arriving at the victim receiver
from the interfering system in its totality that is used
for coordination interference calculations, C/I and T/I
(This applies to any type of antenna system and path)

Smart Antenna with Distributed Radiators

A smart antenna with distributed radiators is an
antenna system that combines an antenna array with a
digital-processing capability to transmit in an
adaptive spatially sensitive manner so as to always
maintain the Interference at the Victim receiver(s)
input from any Distributed Radiating Element ( IDRE )
less than the coordinating Interference ( I ).
Therefore, the interference signal IDRE is not a cause
of concern because it is the level of Interfering signal
I that is dominating the coordination interference
calculations, C/I and T/I .
