Abstract

Abstract : Polarized spectrum sharing (PSS) exploits the spectrum opportunities in a polarized domain. However, when it comes to wideband environments PSS is impaired by the frequency‐dependent polarization mode dispersion (PMD); thus, the effective throughput of PSS drops. To combat the PMD effect, this work proposes a cluster‐based PSS approach to enable PSS on a narrower frequency span. Simulation results show that the effective throughput of PSS on cluster basis outperforms that of PSS on bandwidth and subcarrier basis.
