A Study of Timing Constraints and SAS Overload of SAS-CBSD Protocol in the CBRS Band

This research work studied the effect of timing constraint and overloading of Spectrum Access System (SAS) on the SAS-CBSD protocol. Specifically, it studies how Heartbeat and Grant Request fail as number of CBSDs served by a SAS becomes large for a given service rate. It also looks at the time taken by CBSDs to vacate a channel (on which an incumbent has appeared) at different Heartbeat Interval. These study results are captured in the following files.
