Workshop on Spectrum sharing strategies for wireless broadband services
in conjunction with PIMRC 2013, 8-11 September, 2013, London UK

AIM and SCOPE
There is an increasing demand for mobile data (the data tsunami). The demand
can be met by a combination of different strategies; improved technology
(spectrum efficiency), allocation of more spectrum and use of smaller cells.
When it comes to spectrum allocation, on one hand efforts are made to allocate
"more" bands and on the other hand new techniques to exploit and "re-use" bands
allocated for other application.
We believe that there is a "gap" in the discussions and understanding of
spectrum usage for mobile broadband services. As we see it spectrum shortage
also needs to be discussed in terms of trade-offs between capacity needs,
spectrum and infrastructure cost.
We also would like to highlight the clash between business models that are
applied by different actors, there seems to be a "great divide" within the
industry where different deployment models have different spectrum demands.
There are two ways to confront the mobile data tsunami:
1.Traditional operators.
Huge licensed spectrum demand to maintain inefficient wide-area (outdoor)
deployment whilst majority of projected traffic is indoors. Here we see lots
of sites and towers, high wall penetration losses, high energy consumption. The
current operator business model ("owning the subscriber") is applied and
protected.
2.Indoor/Hotspot operators
Here we can see a moderate spectrum demand above 3 GHz due to short range
systems, very efficient reuse and where "light licensing" regimes, shared
spectrum and secondary spectrum reuse are possible. This will require new
cooperative business/roaming models since both infrastructure and spectrum most
likely need to be shared.
Workshop Topics
Topics of interests for the workshop are:
*Addressing mobile broadband capacity demand
*Addressing identified spectrum scarcity cases
*Estimating the spectrum use/efficiency of different bands
*Spectrum sharing strategies and new paradigms
*Using small cells and femtocells, outdoor/indoor aspects
*Regulatory approaches including preparation for WRC-15
*Trade-offs between capacity needs, spectrum and infrastructure cost
*Techno-economic analysis of items above
*Business model aspects of sharing, offloading, and roaming
*Energy-aware spectrum sharing solutions
Workshop Format
It will be a half a day interactive workshop, the program will include
presentations by invited speakers as well as those accepted from the open call
for papers and also a panel discussion.
Paper submissions and reviews
Paper submissions and reviews will be handled by use of EDAS, more details will
come.
Each submitted paper will be reviewed by three reviewers.
The accepted papers will appear in IEEE Xplore
In order to speed up the review process contributors are asked to notify the
organizing committee about the paper submission. This is done by registration
of the paper in EDAS including title, authors, key words and abstract May 31.
The schedule for papers submissions and reviews is:
Submission of paper abstract: 31 May 2013
Submission of full paper: 7 June 2013
Notification of acceptance: 21 June 2013
Camera ready papers: 15 July 2013
