| dc.description.abstract | In this paper an analysis to quantify the Spectral
Opportunity (SO) or so-called TV white space that can be
made available to White Space Devices (WSDs) as Secondary
Users (SUs) of the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) terrestrial TV
frequency spectrum is presented. The system model and analysis
approach is discussed and the input data and assumptions
used, are detailed. The system model is applied to the entire
geographical region of South Africa. Results from the analysis
performed indicate that a significant number of channels in the
UHF terrestrial TV frequency band (470 - 862 MHz) are available
for secondary re-use by WSDs. The number of channels that are
available are quantified by area and by population count and
indicate that the location of the available channels are dispersed
between rural and urban areas, with good availability in both | en_US |
