Enabling FCC´s proposed spectral policy via carrier interferometry

In this work, we propose a new multicarrier platform to optimize the efficiency of wireless operators\´ licensed bands and to enable flexible sharing of licensed and unlicensed bands (in different spectral regions). This research supports a recent FCC proposal which suggests innovative spectrum management regulations to improve spectral efficiency. Specifically, this work presents a multicarrier platform capable of (1) achieving high spectral efficiency by application of "narrow" orthogonal carriers; and (2) enables flexible spectral sharing across different licensed and unlicensed bands via operator borrowing/ lending.
