NTIA Institute Releases Advanced Spectrum Sharing Model
NTIA’s Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) released an advanced software model for radio wave propagation in urban environments, critical to improved sharing of spectrum, ITS Director Keith Gremban said in a Monday blog post. “Understanding the characteristics of radio waves,…

especially how far they propagate and how they interact with structures and the environment, is important in planning and operating wireless systems,” Gremban said. “Any agreement to share spectrum bands will require reliable predictions of how that spectrum will perform in the real world.” Making the source code publicly available allows researchers to “use and modify the code as they wish, as well as collaborate with other researchers and avoid duplicating efforts,” Gremban said. “This software can be used by consumers, engineers, scientists and others to explore the behavior of radio waves interacting with buildings, trees, and other environmental features.”
