Results of WRC-12
The MHz band is allocated to the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service on a primary basis and is identified for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT).
3GPP defined Band22 (FDD) and Band 42 (TDD) for LTE
Most of countries will NOT allocate to operate licensed- exempt devices.
In US, the 3550 – 3650MHz band is used for Military radar system and Fixed Satellite Service Earth Stations

PCAST recommends the President issue a new memorandum that:
states the policy of the U.S. government is to share underutilized Federal spectrum; and
identifies immediately 1,000 MHz of Federal spectrum for sharing with the private sector; and
The New Spectrum Superhighway:
Divides spectrum into substantial blocks with common characteristics
Makes sharing by Federal users with commercial users the norm
Measures spectrum effectiveness using a new metric
Increases capacity by 1000’s of times.

New Federal Spectrum Access System (SAS) (Cont.)
Use Existing Technologies
Database Management Technology
Geo-location Database Management is already being implemented by FCC in TV Band
Policy Immediately Enables Existing Technologies such as Small Cell
Optimized for Aggregate Capacity
Wi-fi offload, already integral to Carrier traffic, is the proof point
Not Dependent on Cognitive Radio, Smart Antenna, DSA Technologies
a sharing architecture will increase investment dollars and accelerate an innovation cycle
implementation will further improve effectiveness

Implement a Federal Spectrum Access System
Hierarchy of Users
Federal Primary Access (Incumbent)
Secondary Exclusive Access (Accommodates non-shared access technologies like LTE or Quality of Service Applications)
General Authorized Access
Geo-location Database with policy information
Sensing option for Federal Systems
Allow Access to Unused Spectrum
