Polling deregistration for unlicensed PCS

The FCC has allocated the spectrum between 1850-1910 and 1930-1990 MHz for licensed personal communications services (PCS) and the band between 1920-1930 MHz for unlicensed PCS (UPCS).

Description
Summary:The FCC has allocated the spectrum between 1850-1910 and 1930-1990 MHz for licensed personal communications services (PCS) and the band between 1920-1930 MHz for unlicensed PCS (UPCS). This paper describes a polling deregistration protocol for a wireless access communications network which would support interoperability between licensed personal communications services (PCS) and unlicensed-PCS (UPCS). We show how the protocol can be efficiently implemented in the personal access communications system (PACS) for licensed PCS and in the PACS-Unlicensed Version B (PACS-UB). An analytical model is proposed to analyze the performance of the polling protocol. A cost function is derived, which can be used to estimate the optimal polling frequency.
