Spectrum Requirements for IMT-Advanced: Sudan Case Study

摘要

This paper presents the required spectrum for Sudan (Republic of) to deploy the International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-Advanced) technologies. We determined Sudan IMT-Advanced technology requirements, studied the current market behavior and forecast the needs in the future, then customized a new model with different scenarios to estimate the required spectrum for Sudan to be able to use the IMT-Advanced till 2025. These scenarios were modeled according to the number of operators that may use these technologies with a precaution to any new entrants in the future. Calculations are conducted by using ITU SPECtrum requirement calcULATOR "SPECULATOR" model with reference to ITU recommendations to estimate the required spectrum.
