Abstract

Federal communications commissions (FCC) has announced the first set of rules for 3.5 GHz (3,550 - 3,700 MHz) band used Navy radar and fixed satellite service (FSS) earth stations as primary service to sharing for citizen broadband radio service (CBRS) enable development of relatively low powered network technologies like small cells. Since CBRS sharing technique based on the 3-tiered spectrum access system (SAS) is able to protect the higher tiered users from harmful interference from lower tiered users, it has been considered actively to be introduced in Korea. However, 3.5 GHz band had been already allocated to the 5G services in Korea, the sharing studies have been carried out for 3,700 - 5,000 MHz, As the result, the 3.8 GHz (3,800 - 3,900 MHz) band used for only FSS system is able to be sharing, and an introduction of CBRS has been proposed in Korea by analyzing the interference to the FSS earth stations.

FCC (Federal Communications Commission)는 해군 레이더 및 고정지구국 제1 업무로 사용하고 있는 3.5 GHz (3,550 - 3,700 MHz) 대역을 공동사용으로 CBRS (citizen broadband radio service) 시스템이라는 스몰셀의 저전력망 구축이 가능하도록 규정을 제정하였다. CBRS를 위한 공동사용 기술은 3-tiered SAS (spectrum access system)에 기반하여 하위계층 유저로부터 상위계층 유저를 보호하고 가용 스펙트럼을 최적으로 이용할 수 있어 국내에서도 적극적으로 CBRS 도입을 검토하기 시작하였다. 그러나 3.5 GHz 대역은 국내에서 이미 5G용으로 할당되어 있어, 본 논문에서는 3,700 - 5,000 MHz 대역에서 주파수 공동사용 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 3.8 GHz 대역(3,800 - 3,900 MHz)이 FSS(fixed satellite service)용으로 한정되어 있어, 주파수 공동사용이 가능한 대역으로 검토되었으며 FSS 지구국에 미치는 간섭분석을 수행하여 국내의 CBRS 도입을 모색하고자 한다.
