From replacing the current analog television (TV) technology with digital television technology, some of the spectrum previously used by analog television become vacant referred to as TV White Space (TVWS). The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, the Office of Communications (Ofcom) in the UK, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ...

Due to drastic increase of mobile communication devices, broadband wireless communication systems are becoming demanded. Furthermore, the scarcity of frequency spectrum results in the necessity to enhance the application of broadband communication systems.
Smart Wireless Laboratory is working on research and development on using:
(1) unused frequency of Millimeterwave and TeraHertz wave, (2) frequency for wide area communications such as the VHF band, which are not allocated for broadband communications purposes previously, and (3) unused frequency (white space) for particular purposes.
We are also conducting research and development on super long life devices with the latest frequency control technology, low consumption power and interference reduction techniques.
The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: Dr. Hideo Miyahara) has developed the world’s first WiFi prototype in the TV White Spaces (TVWS) (470 MHz~710 MHz) based on the IEEE 802.11af draft specification. IEEE 802.11af is currently ...
