Tezcan Cogalan is currently working towards the Ph.D. degree in the Institute for Digital Communications.

Abstract:
In the National Broadband Plan released by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2010, it was predicted that with the ever increasing demand for data, the spectrum in 2009 will no longer be sufficient in 2013. The spectrum need was obtained based on the predicted mobile data traffic, number of cell sites and achievable spectral efficiency for the US in the FCC’s report. In this talk, predictions made by the FCC are compared with the achieved values from 2009 to 2016 in order to validate the required spectrum prediction. Then, trends seen from 2009 to 2016 are used to answer the questions:

  1. When will the required spectrum that satisfies the mobile data demand exceed the entire radio frequency (RF) spectrum?
  2. What would be the possible solutions to alleviate/postpone the forecasted spectrum crunch?
