The UK/European framework for access to the UHF TV band by white space devices (WSDs) is predicated on the communication of information on TV white space (TVWS) availability from white space databases (WSDBs) to WSDs. This information is in the form of location- and frequency-specific maximum permitted WSD radiated power levels. These levels are calculated by in such a way so as to afford joint protection to the two incumbent (licensed) services in the band, namely Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), and Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE). In this presentation we first outline the proposed framework for access to TV white spaces in the UK, describing the interactions between the regulator, WSD Bs and WSDs. We then present the specific calculations required for the computation of the maximum permitted WSD radiated power levels, accounting for nationwide DTT coverage quality and PMSE assignments.
