Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate the spectrum measurement results in Asia-Pacific region. Then the spectrum sharing policy in Asia-Pacific region is reviewed in details, where the national projects and strategies on spectrum sharing in China, Japan, Singapore, India, Korea, and Australia are Investigated. Then, we introduce the spectrum sharing test-bed developed in China, which is a cognitive radio-enabled TD-LTE test-bed utilizing TV white space (TVWS). This chapter provides a brief introduction to the spectrum sharing mechanism and policy in Asia-Pacific region.
