Abstract:
|
The already intensive use of the radiofrequency spectrum for wireless communication systems continues to increase. The success of wireless communications and the integral part they now play in our modern society is, in part, due to effective spectrum management. As a result, an understanding of spectrum management is important in the consideration of any radio communication system. Spectrum management is a discipline that, if done well, is practically transparent to the user. However, if ineffective, it has the potential to have a major negative impact on the entire community. In this paper we will provide a brief overview of some aspects of spectrum management in Australia. The international foundation of spectrum management will be outlined, along with some of the contemporary challenges and opportunities. |
