| Popis: | In this paper, we present the quantitative results of a spectrum measurement campaign for the UHF TV band (470 -698 MHz) in the western segment of the Philippine Nautical Highway System (PNHS). The PNHS, also known as the Road Roll-On/Roll-Off Terminal System (RRTS) or Ro-Ro System, is an integrated linkage of inland highways and ferry routes forming a nationwide vehicle transport system in the Philippines that served approximately 77 million passengers in 2018. We used a portable spectrum measurement equipment to gather data in fixed inland, mobile inland, and mobile maritime environments of the Western Philippine Nautical Highway (W-PNH). To characterize and quantify white space, we adopted calculated thresholding using the 80% method (ITU-R SM.1753). We compare the results obtained from the field measurements to that of using the geo-location database approach (FCC method). A discussion on the implication of the available TV spectrum to maritime vehicular communication and pertinent supporting policy formulation in the Philippine settings is also provided. |
