A tool for detecting and distributing TV white spaces for commercial purposes

Abstract

Chapter one contains the title of the project, the background information, the problem statement and the source of the problem. A description of the general objective, the aim of the study, a brief description of the Specific objectives of the study guided by the following objectives investigation of the techniques and the legal constraints involved. Also documented is the significance of study that involves studies to ways to reduce the spectrum congestion. Last on this chapter is the scope of the study that contains the assessment, location and distribution of TV white space availability. In chapter two, the literature review came under discussion based on the following topics, electromagnetic spectrum and its allocation by international bodies. A description the TV white space and the methods involved in the identification of the spaces, the spectrum sensing techniques and the legal constraints involved. Chapter 3 involves research methodology that is the way the research was conducted and the methods used. Under the chosen method that is the experimental, the tools and the way the research experiment was set up. Chapter Four covers the conceptual design of the project it includes the introduction, its advantages and disadvantages. In this project, the conceptual models involved are the models of the database sensing model of the spectrum, a model of TVSW calculation tool and final a flow chart of the description of the working of the sensing device. Chapter 5 shows the test involved in carrying the modeling experiments. Mostly covered are modeling setups that determine the various variables of the wireless network under test and lastly the results obtained and their tabulations. Lastly, chapter six gives the conclusion of the work that was carried in this project and the recommendations to be taken for future work to bring an improvement to this project.
