Abstract

Smartphones have transformed daily life since their introduction, with ever-improving applications such as high-quality video streaming driving an increasing demand for higher per-user data rates and network throughput. One of the ways to satisfy this demand is by expanding the available spectrum for cellular operators. However, using new spectrum introduces the risk of interference with legacy services and systems, ie, systems that are already operating in the targeted frequency bands. Assessing and mitigating such interference is essential in determining whether─ and if so, which-new parts of the spectrum can be made available for enhancing cellular systems and thus improve service to smartphone users. Currently, there is special interest of the cellular industry in the so-called upper midband, a range of frequency bands (ie, spectrum) that lie between the traditional cellular bands and the millimeter-wave …
