Abstract

This paper proposes a framework for spectrum sharing between multiple Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) operators in the UMTS extension band. An algorithm is proposed, and the performance of the algorithm is investigated under uniform and non-uniform traffic conditions. The impact of call setup messages on the overall performance of the algorithm show that DSA gains in the region of 7% and 2% can be obtained under uniform and non-uniform traffic conditions.
