The Commission's rules allow for the operation of unlicensed devices on unused channels in the broadcast television spectrum bands to provide broadband and other services for consumers and businesses. See 47 C.F.R. § 15.711. To prevent interference to authorized users of the TV bands, TV bands devices must include a geo-location capability and the capability to access a database that identifies incumbent users entitled to interference protection. The database will provide a TV bands device with a list of which TV channels are vacant and available for use at its location. PUBLIC NOTICE Federal

This requirement includes implementing security for communications between Mode I personal portable TVBDs and fixed or Mode II TVBDs for purposes of providing lists of available channels. See Sections 15.711(f)(1) through (3). Applications for certification of TVBDs must include a high level operational description of the technologies and measures that are incorporated in the device to comply with the security requirements.

The TVBD shall meet the requirements for personal/portable devices in this subpart except that it will be limited to a maximum EIRP of 50 mW per 6 megahertz of bandwidth on which the device operates and it does not have to comply with the requirements for geo-location and database access in § 15.711(b). Compliance with the detection threshold for spectrum sensing in § 15.717(c), although required, is not necessarily sufficient for demonstrating reliable interference avoidance. Once a device is certified, additional devices that are identical in electrical characteristics and antenna systems may be certified under the procedures of Part 2, Subpart J of this chapter.

In reviewing the rules in this context, we also observe that Section 15.711(b)(3)(ii) of the rules requires that a Mode II personal/portable device access the database for a list of available channels each time it is activated from a power-off condition and re-check its location and the database for available channels if it changes location during operation.

Adaptrum asks that the Commission also allow the ILLR model to be used optionally in the database system being implemented for operation of unlicensed devices in the TV band devices (TV white space devices) pursuant to Section 15.711(b) under ET Docket No 04-186. Specifically, Adaptrum asks that the ILLR-based DTV signal strength prediction model be approved in addition to the FCC curves for optional use in TV station coverage predictions for purposes of identifying unused spectrum in the TV bands where unlicensed transmitters can operate.
