Spectrum Refarming in Thailand
Journal Title: International Journal of the Computer, the Internet and Management - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 3
Abstract
Spectrum is a limited resource, but it can be reusable depending on spectrum management strategies. It is an underlying mechanism for communication and economic and social development. In order to utilize the spectrum at its maximum capacity, it is required that spectrum management needs to be based on efficiency, effectiveness, and plans for developing communication activities to support future spectrum consumption. This may include expansion of service area coverage, enhancement of service efficiency as well as promotion to create new innovations. It is required that the alignment with related national development plans needs to be taken into consideration when drawing a spectrum management plan. To support development of both the existing and new services, it is important that users of the existing spectrum must be forced out so that the spectrum can be assigned to a more modern technology or reallocated. Such operation needs to be in alignment with the content specified in the National Table of Frequency Allocations along with the mechanism which enhances spectrum allocation efficiency. Moreover, other options like spectrum sharing and spectrum utilization terms and conditions for overcoming various limitations may also be considered as well. Spectrum refarming is challenging. Therefore, the management of complexity and obstacles must be prepared along with the spectrum monitoring and regulatory strategies which can be used as reference data for spectrum refarming consideration. Levels of complexity and operational options will affect the process of spectrum reallocation. Moreover, there are other factors needed to be considered such as the operational duration, consumption demand, system efficiency, assignment of spectrum for new services, and the policy decision made during the World Radio communication Conferences – WRC regarding the additional assignment of spectrum for various services. However, spectrum refarming for more suitable applications will bring about social benefit and be more appropriate for new innovative services so as to support the direction of economic and social development. In this particular research, the analytical results of Thailand’s spectrum refarming are featured for they are beneficial and be able to extend the telecommunications knowledge at the international level.
