US FCC Experimental license application
for the study of whitespace communications

Stephen Wilkus & Milind Buddhikot

This experimental license application is to study whitespace communications
implemented via frequency translation of various modern air interfaces such as
LTE with cognitive radio sensing & dynamic spectrum management overlays.

The fixed and mobile equipment will utilize the software defined, WDR radio
pictured (in an early version) below:

A summer intern student will be configuring the equipment to transmit and receive
LTE waveforms that are frequency shifted to the appropriate whitespace frequency
channel and will coordinate with the spectrum database proxy services to develop
equipment aimed at complying with the Whitespace rules codified in 47CFR15.701
through 15.717. The equipment will be strictly kept from causing interference to the
local TV broadcasts, typically only operating on channels 22, 27, 42, 47 and 50 when
connected to antennas.

The work will take place in the Bell Labs headquarters in Murray Hill, NJ under the
direction of Dr. Milind Buddhikot (http://www.bell-labs.com/user/mbuddhikot/Front.html).

This work is expected to lead to publications such as those already prepared based
upon theoretical work and collaborative experimental work such as:
