Abstract

Unused spectrum in the television band (so-called TV white space) has the potential to provide new spectrum for access to information and communication services in developing countries. This claim has been subject to a variety of measurement studies. The purpose of this paper is to survey these studies to better characterize the spectrum that is provided by TV white space. We discuss some of the challenges to such studies and characterize the available TV white space spectrum in terms of the total volume that is available.
