In this paper, we consider a channel selection method for the coexistence of heterogeneous systems in the TV white space (TVWS). First, we define the target heterogeneous system structure. Then, under the defined system structure, we discuss how the heterogeneous systems share the TVWS channels. Specifically, the heterogeneous systems having different bandwidths cannot use the TVWS channels due to the lack of wideband channels when only narrowband channels are remained. Hence, in order to minimize the blocking from the different bandwidth problem, we propose a channel selection method for the narrowband systems to firstly occupy the narrowband channels rather than the wideband channels. The proposed narrowband-first channel selection is shown to enhance the spectral efficiency of the TVWS, especially in the IEEE 802.19.1 wireless coexistence system.

This paper addresses the efficient facility placements to adopt a super WiFi network, taking significant considerations as the next generation 'information highway'. Since the super WiFi has a wider geographic coverage by utilizing the white spaces of TV broadcasting which are empty and available frequencies for the wireless communications, it would play an important role in releasing digital divide of the internet access for low populated or mountainous areas. The purpose of this paper is to explore systematic and efficient spatial plans for the super WiFi. For doing this, we applied optimal location covering models to Gurye-gun, Jeonlanamdo. From the application, we presented optimal locations for super WiFi facilities and significant analytical results, such as the tradeoff between the number of facilities and coverage and marginal coverage for establishing super WiFi network. The results of this research would be usefully utilized for decision makers who wish to adopt a super WiFi, to extend wireless networks in a city or build a regional infrastructure of wireless facilities.

Various wireless communication devices or network such as WRAN and WLAN will coexist in the TVWS(TV White Space). Because of this coexistence, the wireless devices which use the TVWS have to avoid interfering to not only licensed TV receiver and wireless microphone but also homogeneous or heterogeneous TVBD(TV Band Device)s. In this paper, we propose two frequency sharing methods for the coexistence of WLAN and WRAN in terms of interference reduction and throughput enhancement in both homogeneous and heterogeneous networks. One is the WRAN spectrum etiquette to provide more wide bandwidth for WLAN users and the other is the WLAN frequency selection methods to improve the throughput performance. The simulation results have confirmed the throughput improvement of the proposed methods. Moreover, the proposed methods is also applicable to improve the throughput performance and reduce interference of similar systems working in a cognitive manner.

In this paper, we propose a power allocation scheme of the unlicensed user based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in the TV white space (TVWS). Power constraints in TVWS should be satisfied in the time domain. However, because OFDM has high PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio), it is difficult to satisfy power constraints of TVWS in the time domain. Furthermore, the conventional power allocation schemes cannot be generally applied to unlicensed user in TVWS. Therefore, we propose a power allocation scheme to satisfy power constraints of TVWS by reducing PAPR in the time domain. In addition, we analyze the capacity of the unlicensed user based on OFDM in a closed form. Based on the capacity analysis, as the number of subcarriers decreases, the capacity can be enhanced. In simulation results, we show that the capacity of the unlicensed user increases, as the number of subcarriers decreases and the mean of the channel between the transmitter and the receiver of the unlicensed user increases.

portable white space device(WSD) obeying the Korean regulations of TV white space(TVWS) can cause harmful interference to a digital TV receiver residing at the same pixel around the edge of the digital TV service coverage for the case with a changed propagation environment. In order to solve this problem, we propose a method to allocate the resource of a hybrid WSD based on TVWS geo-location DB with spectrum sensing. Using the received power of digital TV signal through the spectrum sensing, a hybrid WSD can calculate the maximum permitted EIRP based on location probability. Based on the accurate allocation method proposed in this paper, it is possible to satisfy the Korean TVWS regulations and to eliminate the harmful interference to TV receivers nearby the hybrid WSD.
