Cooley Submitted to the Program of Media Arts and Sciences, School of Architecture and Planning, September 2005 in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Media Arts and Sciences Abstract There is a misguided perception that RF spectrum space is fully allocated and fully used though even a superficial study of actual spectrum usage by measuring local RF energy shows it largely empty of radiation. Traditional regulation uses a fence-off policy, in which competing uses are isolated by frequency and/or geography. We seek to modernize this strategy. Given advances in radio technology that can lead to fully cooperative broadcast, relay, and reception designs, we begin by studying the existing radio environment in a qualitative manner.
