“…The Future of UHF Frequency Band (FUHF) project [32] continued to study spectrum sharing in ultra high frequency (UHF) TV band. The main focus was on field measurements [15] to study the feasibility of exclusive shared spectrum access through Long Term Evolution (LTE) Supplemental Downlink (SDL) concept [33,34,35,36,37]. The project also observed the regulatory and technical developments to determine the most feasible spectrum utilization methods for the UHF TV broadcasting band.…”

This paper describes the design of a testbed for experimental validation and trialing of 5G vertical applications. The paper introduces the challenges that 5G aims to solve with regard to the spectrum demand and the convergence of different wireless communication services. The European-level 5G research program 5G Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP) is a coordinated European approach to secure European leadership in 5G. The 5G-PPP has developed a 5G Pan-European Trials Roadmap, which includes a comprehensive strategy for coordinated international preliminary and pre-commercial trials. The objective in designing Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS) testbed infrastructure in Turku, Finland, has been in building a testbed that can be used to contribute to the development, standardization and trialing of wireless communications in a diverse selection of scenarios and vertical applications. In addition, the paper describes the spectrum monitoring capabilities at TUAS facilities.

“…It should also be noted that as the SDL base stations start replacing the DTT frequencies one by one locally, there is no change in the availability of interleaved spectrum used for example for Program Making and Special Events (PMSE). Depending on the national regulation and market demand, it should also be possible in the long-term vision to fully migrate to the LTE using either the SDL and/or the eMBMS to deliver TV content and hence completely replace current DTT technologies with a converged delivery platform [23].…”

“…Previous works on business models for shared DTT spectrum use are limited, as focus has been on TV White Spaces (TVWS) concept, e.g., [20] and [21]. The general business drivers, enablers and potential impacts of the spectrum sharing on the MBB market were described in [22], and incentives and strategic dynamic capabilities for the key stakeholders in the hybrid use of the UHF were discussed in [23]. Furthermore, there are several studies on the optimal contract design, e.g., [24].…”

This paper explores and presents scenarios and business models for mobile network operators (MNOs) in the novel hybrid use spectrum sharing concept of the Ultra High Frequency broadcasting spectrum (470-790 MHz) used for Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) and Mobile Broadband (MBB). More flexible use of the band could lead to higher efficiency in delivering fast growing and converging MBB, media and TV content to meet changing consumer needs. On one hand, this could be beneficial for broadcasters (BC), e.g., by preserving the spectrum, by providing additional revenues, or by lowering cost of the spectrum and, on the other hand, for MNOs to gain faster access to new potentially lower cost, licensed, below 1GHz spectrum to cope with booming data traffic. As a collaborative benefit, the concept opens up new business opportunities for delivering TV and media content using MBB network with means to introduce this flexibly. This paper highlights the importance of developing sound business models for the new spectrum use concept, as they need to provide clear benefits to the key stakeholders to be adopted in real life. The paper applies a future and action oriented approach to the MBB using the concept to derive scenarios and business models for MNOs for accessing hybrid UHF bands. In order to address the convergence and transformation coming with the concept, business models are first developed for the current situation with separate exclusive spectrum bands. Novel business scenarios are then developed for the introduction of the new flexible hybrid UHF spectrum concept. The created business model indicates that the MNOs could benefit significantly from the new UHF bands, which would enable them to cope with increasing data traffic asymmetry, and to offer differentiation through personalized broadcasting and new media services. Moreover, it could significantly reshape the business ecosystem around both the broadcasting and the mobile broadband by introducing new convergence opportunities in business and technology for the 4G evolution towards 5G.

“…The freed TV channels could be taken into mobile use in a flexible way by using functionalities that are already developed for shared spectrum access like, e.g., recently widely discussed Licensed Shared Access (LSA) concept [25], allowing different time schedules in different regions and countries, if needed. The SDL Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology [26] allows both the 'traditional' MBB DL and the LTE evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Broadcast (eMBMS) [27] flexibly used for optimizing the capacity on demand. The SDL use would also support the trend that the future MBB traffic is strongly asymmetric towards downlink direction.…”

As a collaborative benefit with the broadcasting domain, the concept opens up new converging business opportunities in delivering TV and media content using MBB network with means to introduce this flexibly. Moreover, it will significantly re-shape the business ecosystem around both broadcasting and mobile broadband by introducing new co-opetitive business opportunities in business and technology towards 5G.
