Abstract :
It concerns the possible use of terrestrial base station downlinks for Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based mobile communications in the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) band just below the GPS L1 band-home of the main GPS signal for civil users. Some of the issues in this controversy are unique to the US regulatory environment while others illustrate spectrum policy issues that are more universal in nature.
