Security and Performance Issues in Spectrum Sharing between Disparate Wireless Networks
The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in its recent report and order has prescribed the creation of Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CRBS) in the 3.5 GHz band to enable sharing between wireless broadband devices and incumbent radar systems. This sharing will be enabled by use …

Engaging voices or talking to air? A study of alternative and community radio audience in the digital era
In November 2012, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced the implementation of the Local Community Radio Act of 2010, which marks the largest expansion of community radio stations in U.S. history. The act responds to the decade-long community radio movement in which many civilian …

Energy-detection based spectrum sensing for cognitive radio on a real-time SDR platform
… spectrum allocation technique, proposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a fixed allocation technique. This is inefficient as the spectrum is vacant during times when the primary user is not using the spectrum. This strain on the current available bandwidth has revealed signs of …

Enabling CBRS experimentation and ML-based Incumbent Detection using OpenSAS
In 2015, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enabled shared commercial use of the 3.550-3.700 GHz band. A framework was developed to enable this spectrum-sharing capa- bility which included an automated frequency coordinator called Spectrum Access System (SAS). This work extends the open source …

Trading in exogenous networks: a theoretical application and experimental results
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocates bands of radio frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum to agents call primary users (PUs), typically through standard auctions. However, with an increased demand for the use of radio spectrum, it is valuable to devise ways for unused channels …
