Summary

• What is new: Introduction of the CAT3S framework to improve spectrum sharing between terrestrial 5G and satellite networks by including site-specific contextual factors.
• Why this is important: Existing spectrum-sharing policies often lead to under-utilization of the shared band due to ignoring contextual factors and worst-case assumptions.
• What the research proposes: CAT3S framework incorporates contextual factors through a context-acquisition unit and a context-aware base station control unit, optimizing operational parameters for 5G networks without interfering with incumbent satellite links.
• Results: CAT3S demonstrates significantly higher spectrum utilization compared to traditional spectrum-sharing policies, especially in varying weather conditions.
