Emerging Technologies and Access to Spectrum Resources: the Case of Short-Range Systems

Fulvio Minervini

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Traditional regulatory arrangements have constrained access to radio frequency spectrum. This has resulted in artificial scarcity of spectrum. The paper addresses the issue of whether technological developments in short-range systems (e.g. cognitive radios and ultra wideband) might promote access to spectrum - possibly using market mechanisms such as trading - and reduce spectrum shortages.
