ANÁLISIS DE IMPLEMENTACIÓN EN ECUADOR DE SISTEMAS BASADOS EN EL ESTÁNDAR IEEE 802.22

Abstract

There are some areas that are not attractive enough for telecommunication providers for its geographic location and reduced number of population, mainly because of the cost of the equipment and the spectrum license fees for providing wireless telecommunication services. For that reason, there are some systems that don’t require a license for operating, which reduces the cost of a license contract. One example of that is the cognitive radio standard IEEE 802.22. This technology allows the access of unlicensed users to licensed bands without generating interference to primary users (i.e licensed users). In this paper, it is proposed to perform a previous five days study for implementing the IEEE 802.22 standard in the TV-UHF band (512 to 698 MHz). In particular, it is intended to make a spectral analysis of the time usage of the TV Channels on the UHF band. The results showed that we count with great availability of the spectrum, which would be used to offer several telecommunication services to the different rural communities of Ecuador.
