spectrum sharing

Spectrum sharing refers to the practice of allowing multiple users or services to access the same radio frequency spectrum band simultaneously. This approach maximizes the use of available frequencies, which are a limited resource, by enabling different technologies to operate without causing interference. It is essential for improving communication networks, supporting various services like mobile phones, Wi-Fi, and public safety communications. By coordinating how different users share the spectrum, it enhances efficiency and ensures that more users can connect and communicate seamlessly in a crowded frequency landscape.
