Secondary use of spectrum: a survey of the issues

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to construct a framework for discussion and future studies of the secondary use of electromagnetic spectrum.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper establishes some useful definitions and then systematically applies them to the secondary use case. This is extrapolated to develop a framework.

Findings

It is important to be careful to circumscribe discussions around secondary use, as each component of the framework poses different problems for implementation and research.

Originality/value

The paper proposes a way to structure the discussion of and research into secondary use of electromagnetic spectrum, which can apply significant clarity to future work in this area.
