Prototipo de software para el uso de espacios en blanco de la televisión digital

Abstract

Digital television withe spaces are frequency bands not used by this service in different geographical areas, which can be used to provide other applications, without causing interference or claiming protection with respect to television. In Colombia, the digital television channel has 38 channels in the UHF band (Ultra High Frequency) and it is estimated that for each municipality approximately 10 channels are used, leaving a large amount of blank spaces. With this project, the design and implementation of a software platform was carried out, which allows consulting the available blank space channels in a scenario using propagation models in order to determine them, in order to implement another service in a certain area and thus obtain a better use of the spectrum.
