Abstract
This paper proposes a novel Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) scheme for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) / Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) heterogeneous systems. Capacity estimation algorithms for both WCDMA and DVB are developed which consider both the user distribution and characteristics of the hybrid services. Based on these algorithms, a new dynamic spectrum allocation scheme is presented which allows for optimum allocation of resources and maximum secondary spectrum usage. Coloring theory is used to significantly reduce DSM complexity while providing near-optimal performance. Numerical results are given which show that the proposed DSM scheme has better performance than Fixed Spectrum Management (FSM).
