“…The project also observed the regulatory and technical developments to determine the most feasible spectrum utilization methods for the UHF TV broadcasting band. The potential developments in the use of the band and candidate technologies such as WiB [38] and Tower Overlay over LTE-Advanced+ (TOoL+) [39,40,41] were considered in [15].…”

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.

“…In recent years, an evolution of the LTE-A (4G) technology, called LTE-A+, has been proposed by Technische Universitat Braunschweig to allow for the implementation of the "Tower Overlay" concept, Ilsen et al (1). This consists of transmitting broadcast services to mobiles from a traditional broadcast infrastructure, based on large cells, representing a more efficient delivery solution to cope with a high number of users consuming simultaneously the same service within a given coverage area.…”

The article investigates the coverage achievable by three different network configurations for delivering high quality multicast video services to mobiles: conventional broadcast High Power High Tower (HPHT), mobile cellular Low Power Low Tower (LPLT), and mixed structures. Different spectrum efficiencies, transmitter distance and power, and receiver characteristics are considered, representing a range of possible network scenarios. The study actually models generic radio interfaces with particular characteristics. Nevertheless, the choice of the parameters reflects configurations in use in 4G or currently under discussion for 5G, preferred over similar/better performing DVB T2Lite or NGH (Next Generation Handheld) broadcast technologies, to facilitate the user terminal implementation (smartphones and tablets). The results clearly indicate that the best solution in terms of Capex/ Opex for running the network is represented by the cooperative approach where most of the rural/suburban coverage is provided by the HPHT network and the LPLT cellular networks are used to complete the coverage, especially in densely populated urban areas. This allows avoiding the installation and operation of thousands of LPLT transmitters, with a very significant reduction of the corresponding network costs.
