FRP: The frequency resource protocol

Scarcity of frequencies and the demand for more bandwidth is likely to increase the need for devices that utilize the available frequencies more efficiently. Radios must be able to dynamically find other users of the frequency bands and adapt so that they are not interfered, even if they use different radio protocols. As transmitters far away may cause as much interference as a transmitter located nearby, this mechanism can not be based on location alone. Central databases can be used for this purpose, but require expensive infrastructure and planning to scale. In this paper, we propose a decentralized protocol and architecture for discovering radio devices over the Internet. The protocol has low resource requirements, making it suitable for implementation on limited platforms. We evaluate the protocol through simulation in network topologies with up to 2.3 million nodes, including topologies generated from population patterns in Norway. The protocol has also been implemented as proof-ofconcept in real Wi-Fi routers.

“…TV bands database is used by the federal communications commission (FCC) to protect licensed TV broadcasters from interference from unlicensed white space devices (WSDs) [19]. A protocol layer between the application and the IP layers in the radio units is proposed in [20] to aid in frequency negotiation and dynamic spectrum access (DSA). The protocol includes a client to database part maintained by the network operator to manage a central database for the registration of radio parameters.…”

Satisfying the demand for higher data rate and ensuring the quality of service requirements are gaining more research interest. Investigating the problem of resource management for mobile systems is crucial in solving this issue. This paper aims at optimizing the down-link physical resources allocation in LTE-A multi cell systems. This constitutes the allocation of the physical resources to optimize the spectral and power eciency under dierent down-link frequency partition congurations. The allocation objective is to increase the mobile service providers return on investment by increasing revenues and decreasing operational costs, while maintaining the minimum quality of service (QoS) requirements. A new scheme employing a utility-based
