July 2004 John Notor, Cadence Design Systems, Inc. Proposal for Part 15.244 Cognitive Radio Operation in the TV Band Outline Introduction TV Band Incumbents Identifying Characteristics of Incumbents Elements of Cognitive Radio Operation Proposed Cognitive Radio Rules Operating Range of Personal/Portable Devices Detection of DTV Signals DFS Sensitivity vs DTV Service Contour Field Strength Co-Channel Interference Range Margin Terrain Blocking Wrap Up Acknowledgements Introduction Introduction TV Band Incumbents TV Band Incumbent Protection from Cognitive Devices In order to insure that public safety operations are protected, Ch 14-20 are excluded from the proposed cognitive radio class of operation. Wireless Medical Telemetry Services operate on Ch 37 within the TV band, which is excluded by the Commission’s proposed rules from Part 15.244 device operations. Wireless microphone operation as a Low Power Auxiliary Station under Part 74 can protected by cognitive techniques, or by rule (assignment to specific channels in each service area, etc). This presentation does not address wireless microphones. Wireless video assist devices are provided for as Low Power Auxiliary Devices in Part 74, but no equipment is presently authorized or licensed for operation. This class of equipment should be considered for termination. The remaining incumbents are TV broadcast signals, which, because of their unique signatures (analog/NTSC, and digital/ATSC), are readily identifiable. Analog TV (NTSC) Spectrum Digital TV (ATSC) Spectrum Elements of Cognitive Radio Operation (1) Network Frequency Allocation (NFA): Survey and monitor spectrum use patterns. Avoid incumbents, operate network on an unused or lightly used channel. Link Power Control (LPC): Keep network transmitter power low while maintaining good link quality. LPC mitigates interference and promotes frequency reuse with networks located nearby. Incumbent Profile Detection (IPD): Detect incumbent users based on sp
