Innovating for Broadband: The Case of Television White Space Networks in Sub-Saharan Africa

Author: Mzyece, M ; Mfupe, Luzango P ; Mekuria, Fisseha Date: Nov 2018 Television white space (TVWS) networks based on geo-location spectrum databases (GLSDs) present an excellent opportunity to provide affordable broadband to underserved rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, we explore potential ... Read more
Spectrum access games for cognitive radio networks

Author: Masonta, Moshe T ; Olwal, T ; Mzyece, M ; Ntlatlapa, Ntsibane S Date: Sep 2010 Cognitive Radio (CR) is seen as a key enabling technology for addressing current under-utilization and inefficient use of radio frequency spectrum. The use of CR will see most of the spectrum white spaces being used opportunistically without ... Read more
Spectrum decision in cognitive radio networks: a survey

Author: Masonta, Moshe T ; Mzyece, M ; Ntlatlapa, Ntsibane S Date: Nov 2012 Spectrum decision is the ability of a cognitive radio (CR) to select the best available spectrum band to satisfy secondary users’ (SUs’) quality of service (QoS) requirements, without causing harmful interference to licensed or primary users ...

TV White spaces for wireless broadband in rural areas: the regulator, broadcaster and telecommunication(s) operator viewpoint

Author: Mfupe, Luzango P ; Mzyece, M ; Mekuria, Fisseha Date: May 2012 Television White Spaces (TVWS) coupled with Dynamic Spectrum Access and Cognitive Radio (DSA-CR) technologies are increasingly viewed as key enablers to the bridging of the digital divide in rural areas. However, in order to realize maximum ... Read more
VHF spectrum monitoring using Meraka cognitive radio platform

Author: Aderonmu, AI ; Rotimi, AH ; Masonta, Moshe T ; Mzyece, M Date: Nov 2012 Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum is a natural resource widely used by wireless network operators to provide radio communications or transmission systems (e.g. telephone operators and TV broadcast stations). Scarcity of RF spectrums has led to ... Read more
The white space opportunity in Southern Africa: measurements with Meraka cognitive radio platform

Author: Masonta, Moshe T ; Johnson, D ; Mzyece, M Date: Nov 2011 The global migration of television (TV) from analogue to digital broadcasting will result in more spectrum bands (known as TV white space), previously used in analogue broadcasting, becoming available and unoccupied. A question is on how much ... Read more
