If LTE-U can coexist so peacefully with other unlicensed devices, then maybe all of the LTE bands should be opened to unlicensed devices and carriers can use the same mitigation measures on all LTE bands to let everything coexist happily.
There, problem solved, I'm sure the carriers will jump right on this.
- ksml 11y agoHm, this is actually a great response. I can't think of a good counter argument. It would be interesting to see someone with more technical or legal experience to comment on the implications of this
- Johnny555 11y agoI think the counter argument is that the carriers must be automatically cutting back their use of the spectrum when they detect other devices, so if unlicensed devices were allowed on the carrier licensed bands, it would reduce spectrum available to the carriers. Though it seems fair, if they want to eat into the public unlicensed spectrum, they ought to give the public access to their own spectrum.
