Spectrum after Scarcity: Rethinking Radiofrequency Management

射频频谱是实现无线通信的关键输入。现有的频谱管理工具是为了处理稀缺性而构建的。该项目旨在重新定义频谱管理，因为技术发展减少了稀缺性。在四个重叠的阶段，一个国际研究小组旨在调查共享频谱的新兴技术对监管的影响；在过去二十年中，在全球开展15个频谱“再分配”案例研究，包括二级交易、公共重新分配和续订；探索频谱共享与再耕作的动态集成模式；并出版一个独特资源的可访问的思想史。

Radiofrequency spectrum is the critical input that enables wireless communication. Existing spectrum management tools were constructed to deal with scarcity. This project aims to reconceptualise spectrum management as technological developments reduce scarcity. In four overlapping stages, an international research team aims to investigate the regulatory implications of emerging technologies that share spectrum; conduct fifteen case studies of spectrum 'refarming' around the world over the last two decades, including secondary trading, public reallocations and renewals; explore models for dynamic integration of spectrum sharing and refarming; and publish an accessible intellectual history of a unique resource.
