Submission doc.: IEEE /0092r0 November 2015 Chen Sun, Sony ChinaSlide 2 Abstract This document provides the analysis of the effect of controlling the energy detection threshold over IP- network for coexistence.

Submission doc.: IEEE /0092r0November 2015 Chen Sun, Sony ChinaSlide 3 Background There is a potential that different wireless systems will operate in the same frequency band For example, the TV band, 3.5GHz in US and the 5GHz band These different wireless systems might use different radio access technologies. IEEE or its enhanced system ( a) can manage these different wireless systems together for coexistence over IP-network. In many cases, most of these wireless systems employ functionality of energy detection CCA. Generally, it is obvious that the value of energy detection threshold affects the performance of wireless systems. In such case, there might be merit that we adjust the performance of the wireless systems by controlling the energy detection threshold over IP- network. We analyzed this possibility with simulation.
