Spectrum analysis and regulations for 5G

Abstract

In 5G vision, the spectrum issue is one of the most important parts. Governments, agencies, standardization organizations and research institutions from many countries pay high attention to the 5G spectrum strategies. The appeals for international harmonized spectrum and full band spectrum access are intense, the range of which are possibly from 0-100GHz. This chapter addresses the current spectrum for mobile communications, the future spectrum demand, possible candidate frequency bands and spectrum management considerations. Information from international and regional telecommunications such as ITU, CEPT, APT, and also from different countries are collected and analyzed. Some academic views are also provided for future work.
