22、TU-R SM.2256 Spectrum occupancy measurements and evaluation NOTE In every case the latest edition of the Recommendation/Report in force should be used. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that the spectrum is a limited natural resource of great economic and social value; b) that dema

23、nd for use of the spectrum is increasing rapidly; c) that a number of different factors, such as the use of different frequency bands for particular radio services, relevant spectrum management methods for networks in those services, the technical characteristics of transmitters, receivers and anten

24、nas used in the services, etc., significantly influence spectrum use and efficiency and through their optimization, particularly in respect of new or improved technologies, significant economies of spectrum can be achieved; d) that there is a need for defining the degree and efficiency of spectrum u

25、se, as a tool for comparison and analysis for assessing the gains achieved with new or improved technologies, particularly by administrations in the national long-term planning of spectrum utilization and the development of radiocommunications; e) that comparison of spectrum efficiency between actua

26、l radio systems would be very useful, when developing new or improved technologies and assessing performance of existing systems, recommends 1 that, as a basic concept, the composite bandwidth-space-time domain should be used as a measure of spectrum utilization the “spectrum utilization factor”, as

27、 illustrated in Annex 1 for transmitting and receiving radio equipment; 2 that the basis for calculating spectrum utilization efficiency (SUE), or spectrum efficiency in short, should be the determination of the useful effect obtained by the radio systems through the utilization of the spectrum and

28、the spectrum utilization factor, as illustrated in Annex 1. Some examples of how to use this concept may be found in Annex 2; 3 that the basic concept of relative spectrum efficiency as outlined in Annex 1 should be used to compare spectrum efficiencies between radio systems; 4 that any comparison o

29、f spectrum efficiencies should be performed only between similar types of radio systems providing identical radiocommunication services as explained in 4 of Annex 1; 5 that in determining the spectrum efficiency, the interactions of various radio systems and networks within a particular electromagne

30、tic environment should be considered. Rec. ITU-R SM.1046-3 3 Annexes 1 and 2 provide the theoretical model (U), measurement model (U) and examples of spectrum use by different services. Annex 1 General criteria for the evaluation of spectrum utilization factor and spectrum efficiency 1 Spectrum util

31、ization factor Efficient use of spectrum is achieved by (among other things) the isolation obtained from antenna directivity, geographical spacing, frequency sharing, or orthogonal frequency use and time-sharing or time division and these considerations reflected in definition of spectrum utilizatio

32、n. Therefore, the measure of spectrum utilization spectrum utilization factor, U, is defined to be the product of the frequency bandwidth, the geometric (geographic) space, and the time denied to other potential users: UB S T (1) where: B : frequency bandwidth S : geometric space (usually area) T :

33、time. The geometric space of interest may also be a volume, a line (e.g. the geostationary orbit), or an angular sector around a point. The amount of space denied depends on the spectral power density. For many applications, the dimension of time can be ignored, because the service operates continuo

34、usly. But in some services, for example, broadcast and single channel mobile, the time factor is important to sharing and all three factors should be considered simultaneously, and optimized. The measure of spectrum may be computed by multiplication of a bandwidth bounding the emission (e.g. occupie

35、d bandwidth) and its interference area, or may take into account the actual shape of the power spectrum density of the emission and the antenna radiation characteristics. Traditionally, radio transmitters have been considered the users of the spectrum resource. They use the spectrum-space by filling

36、 some portion of it with radio power so much power that receivers of other systems cannot operate in certain locations, times and frequencies because of unacceptable interference. Notice that the transmitter denies the space to receivers only. The mere fact that the space contains power in no way pr

37、events another transmitter from emitting power into the same location; that is, the transmitter does not deny operation of another transmitter. Receivers use spectrum-space because they deny it to transmitters. The mere physical operation of the receiver interferes with no one (except as it inadvert

38、ently acts as a transmitter or power source). Even then the space used physically is relatively small. However, the authorities deny licenses to transmitters in an attempt to guarantee interference-free reception. The protection may be in space (separation distance, coordination distance), in freque

39、ncy (guardbands) or even in time (in the United States of America, some MF broadcasting stations are limited to daylight operation). This denial 4 Rec. ITU-R SM.1046-3 constitutes “use” of the space by the receiver. The radio astronomy bands are a familiar example of the recognition of receiver use

40、of the spectrum space. One way to incorporate these facts into a unit of measure of spectrum space is to partition the resource into two spaces the transmitter space and receiver space and define dual units to measure the usage of each space. Where simplicity is most important, the two units can be

41、recombined into a single measure for system use. Further information concerning the general approach to calculate the spectrum utilization factor may be found in Chapter 8 of the National Spectrum Management Handbook (Geneva, 2005). 2 Spectrum utilization efficiency (SUE) According to the definition

42、 of SUE (or spectrum efficiency as a shortened term) of a radiocommunication system, it can be expressed by a complex criterion: SUE M, U M, BST (2) where: M: useful effect obtained with the aid of the communication system in question U: spectrum utilization factor for that system. If necessary, the

43、 complex spectrum efficiency indicator may be reduced to a simple indicator: the ratio of useful effect to spectrum utilization factor: TSB MUMS U E (2) The method for SUE calculation in equations (2) and (2a) is a theoretical approach. When administrations evaluate SUE independently, the useful eff

44、ect obtained with the aid of the communication system (numerator M) is not always available. In such case, it can be replaced by the spectrum utilization factor based on the actual measurement (U): U=BST (2b) where: B: actual measurement result on occupation bandwidth (or regional statistics) S: act

45、ual measurement result on coverage area (or regional statistics) T: actual measurement result on operating time (or regional statistics). Radio administrations can obtain the above three parameters through measurement and statistics by their own monitoring facilities. In the case of regional statist

46、ics, e.g. the arithmetic mean of the results of each sub-region can be used. Then SUE can be expressed as: TSB TSBUUSUE (2c) 3 Relative spectrum efficiency (RSE) The concept of relative RSE can be used effectively to compare the spectrum efficiencies of two similar types of radio systems providing t

47、he same service. Rec. ITU-R SM.1046-3 5 RSE is defined as the ratio of two spectrum efficiencies, one of which may be the efficiency of a system used as a standard of comparison. Hence, RSESUEa / SUEstd (3) where: RSE : relative spectrum efficiency ratio of SUEs) SUEstd : SUE of a “standard” system

48、SUEa : SUE of an actual system. The likely candidates for a standard system are: the most theoretically efficient system, a system which can be easily defined and understood, a system which is widely used a de facto industry standard. The RSE will be a positive number with values ranging between zer

49、o and infinity. If the standard system is chosen to be the most theoretically efficient system, the RSE will typically range between zero and one. As an example, the most theoretically efficient system may be characterized according to the principles of information theory. The communication capacity of a communication channel on which a subscriber or a listener receives a wanted communication is determined by the relation: C0F0 ln (10) where: F0 : bandwidth of the wanted communica
