dc.description.abstract |
TV White Space networks are gaining momentum worldwide as an important addition to the suite of wireless protocols available for connecting de-veloping regions. However, there has been no thorough investigation of scenarios where TV White Space performs better or worse than alternative low-cost wire-less technology such as WiFi. This paper analyzes the performance of 5 GHz WiFi links and TV White space links using down-converted WiFi, typically used as wireless backhaul for poorly connected regions, in different scenarios include-ing line-of-sight links and links obstructed by trees and structures. The experi-ments make use of 802.11a/b/g WiFi and TV White Space equipment that down-converts standard 802.11 a/b/g WiFi from the 2.4 GHz band into the UHF band. The paper finds that 5 GHz links outperformed TVWS where clear line-of-sight is available and point-to-point links are required. TVWS however is a clear choice where there are obstructions and where wider coverage is needed. Some interesting observations on the negative effect of TV transmissions in adjacent channels a few channel-hops away from the channel being used for TVWS are also provided. |

AB - TV White Space networks are gaining momentum worldwide as an important addition to the suite of wireless protocols available for connecting de-veloping regions. However, there has been no thorough investigation of scenarios where TV White Space performs better or worse than alternative low-cost wire-less technology such as WiFi. This paper analyzes the performance of 5 GHz WiFi links and TV White space links using down-converted WiFi, typically used as wireless backhaul for poorly connected regions, in different scenarios include-ing line-of-sight links and links obstructed by trees and structures. The experi-ments make use of 802.11a/b/g WiFi and TV White Space equipment that down-converts standard 802.11 a/b/g WiFi from the 2.4 GHz band into the UHF band. The paper finds that 5 GHz links outperformed TVWS where clear line-of-sight is available and point-to-point links are required. TVWS however is a clear choice where there are obstructions and where wider coverage is needed. Some interesting observations on the negative effect of TV transmissions in adjacent channels a few channel-hops away from the channel being used for TVWS are also provided.
