AI for Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS)

Mobile operators pay heavily for licensed spectrum, so they try to squeeze as much use as possible out of every frequency. Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) lets newer technologies run on the same bands as older ones, but dividing that spectrum in real time is complex and often inefficient.

RCR Wireless explores whether artificial intelligence can improve how DSS works by making faster, smarter decisions about how to allocate spectrum between different network technologies. The piece looks at how AI models could react to changing traffic and radio conditions to reduce waste and improve performance, while also noting the technical and operational challenges of putting AI in charge of such a critical resource.
