Performance Study of a GAA-GAA Coexistence Scheme in the CBRS Band

This research work is a performance study of GAA-GAA coexistence in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band. The Wireless Innovation Forum (WINNForum), which has developed standards for commercial operations in this band, has recommended three approaches to GAA-GAA coexistence. This work studies one of the approaches (called Approach 1) . We provide the results of this study through the dataset archived here. There are few configurations considered in the study. We chose two geographical locations: Virginia Beach (VB) and San Diego (SD). In one deployment scenario all the CBRS devices (CBSDs) were chosen to be Category A (Cat A) CBSDs and in the other, it was a mix of Cat A and Cat B. CBSD deployment densities of 3, 10, 30, 50 per square kilometers were considered. Two propagation models, namely ITM and Hybrid models were used in the evaluation.
