Abstract: This project aims to carry out the identification of White Spaces within the VHF / UHF, corresponding to the range of frequencies ranging from 54 to 686 MHz, for possible use in cognitive radio systems bands. The methodology consisted of a spectrum monitoring performed in order to know their spectral occupancy in six parishes of the City of Loja. For that, a spectrum analyzer system was used, in order to evaluate the implementation Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN’s).
Keywords: Spectrum, Wireless Communication, Cognitive Radio, White Spaces, National Frequency Plan.
Scope of the Article: Wireless Communication
