Presents the model and methodology, applied by ITU-R WRC07, to calculate the spectrum requirementSpectrum Requirement Planning in Wireless Communications: Model and Methodology forIMT-Advanced is a self-contained handbook of the models and methodologies used for the spectrum requirement calculation for IMT-Advanced systems, as well as for the predecessor IMT-2000 systems. The reader will learn how the spectrum requirement is calculated for real systems that prevail worldwide. The book also provides the basis on which to develop advanced methodologies for yet future systems, as the spectrum regulation will continue in the future.
