6. Introduction of TV White Space IEEE 802.15-11-0039-00-04tv TV White space (4) Main issues for Unlicensed TV bands devices(TVBD) - Eliminating the requirement that TV bands devices that incorporate geo- location and database access must also listen (sense) to detect the signals of TV stations and low power auxiliary service stations (wireless microphones) - While the sensing requirement for TVBDs is eliminated, continued development of this capability is encouraged because it holds promise to further improvements in spectrum efficiency in the TV spectrum in the future and will be a vital tool for providing opportunistic access to other spectrum bands - TV bands databases that provide lists of available channels to TVBDs must receive approval by the FCC Commission Slide 6Cheolho Shin and Sangsung Choi., ETRI
