Some Key 3.5 Principles
• All Spectrum should be usable by someone
– No exclusivity in any tier
– Same spectrum may be used simultaneously by multiple carriers in a city,
within buildings by an enterprise, and in homes in suburbs
• 2nd Tier (PAL) Licenses provide protection, but not the right to exclude
other users – No warehousing!
• Management through cloud-based micro-transactions to reduce
“Viscosity”, costs, delays and provide certainty of access
– Spectrum Access System (SAS) to “Hide” Complexity of Spectrum Sharing
Regime
• Everybody competes, and forever!
– Census Block level annual auctions, limited license periods with no
renewal expectation, multiple SAS suppliers, …
• Same Operating Limits for protected (Priority) users and unprotected
(GAA) – no viscosity to move between
• 50% of spectrum guaranteed to unprotected use to reduce the risk to
deploying in this model
Practical Implications
• In large venues, or with no PALS, users have access
to 150 MHz at most times
– With clutter losses, interior spaces may be isolated from
outdoor PAL usage, and may have 150 MHz available
– FCC has not addressed use of 3.5 GHz clutter data
collected by Google
– Regardless of FCC, Effective isolation for interior for all GAA
spectrum (80 MHz)
• Worst case, 80 MHz available inside or outside
• Industry working to establish co-existence
methodology across users
– LTE has rich set of coexistence features that can be used to
manage the interference
