“…In its basic form, stakeholder analysis [Freeman 1984] consists of three steps: identification of stakeholders; stakeholder dynamics and interactions; and stakeholder management actions. In the first step, stakeholders are identified in the considered context, such as the future use of a specific spectrum band like the UHF band in [Matinmikko et al 2017b], noting that an organization could have highly distinct stakeholder maps depending on the context. In the second step, the roles and relations of the stakeholders' networks are investigated.…”

“…Although heavily studied in many other fields, stakeholder analysis [Freeman 1984] had not been applied in spectrum management or wireless communications more generally until [Matinmikko-Blue 2018b] where a stakeholder analysis framework for sharing-based spectrum governance models to reach long-term compromises was proposed. The considered case studies, the future use of the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band [Matinmikko et al 2017b] and the Licensed Shared Access (LSA) concept [Matinmikko et al 2017],…”

A new stakeholder paradigm to link 6G with sustainable development goals and spectrum management This chapter will address the role of sustainability and spectrum access in the context of the next generation of mobile communication networks after 5G -namely 6G. The deployment of 6G systems is targeted for 2030, which is also the target year for the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals [UN 2015]. These two developments influence each other in multiple ways, which is discussed in this chapter.The radio spectrum continues to be the key resource for any wireless connectivity solution and presents a major control point to stakeholders. In general, spectrum management decisions aim at maximizing the value of spectrum, its efficient utilization, and benefits to the society [Beltran 2017]. The role of spectrum management is crucial in defining which spectrum bands are used by the different wireless systems and by whom -important decisions that ultimately shape the market and operational models by defining which stakeholders can (re)use the precious natural resource. Given that sustainability has penetrated all aspects of our society starting from children's schoolbooks, it cannot be excluded from spectrum management.Spectrum decisions are all about stakeholder management [Freeman, 1984] -an important theme that yet is under-examined in telecommunications research and not properly used when regulatory bodies are making spectrum management decisions. Ultimately, the spectrum decisions have long-term impacts, which are very different for the different stakeholders who have conflicting agendas. But no one really oversees what is best for our sustainable future. Those who hold a strong position today get to significantly influence the definition of the future. Those who bring disruptive ideas in the future are not necessarily represented in that decision making. Moreover, organizations participate in multiple ecosystems simultaneously, promoting not only the views of themselves but their partners. Some sway influence even when they are not the relevant stakeholder. These changing business ecosystems, and the simultaneous participation in multiple ecosystems, create a complex network of stakeholders with highly distinct and varying goals. A key constraint in spectrum management is how to ensure that long-term compromises are found that meet the changing needs in a sustainable way. The continuous need for more spectrum by a variety of wireless systems should be looked at from the perspective of spectrum sharing, where different systems can operate in the same band.5G spectrum decisions have already shown growing fragmentation, not only about spectrum bands, but also spectrum management approaches covering administrative allocation, market mechanisms and the

“…Yet, the BNOs and the MNOs could coexist, if the spectrum allocation were more flexible and based on local licenses based on regions. In [22], a stakeholder analysis for the UHF bands is carried out; and the authors conclude that a new figure of a Band Manager, between the local authorities and enterprises, could be beneficial to adapt the needs of BNOs and MNOs, and favour new emerging business models of coexistence or convergence. The current regulatory framework of spectrum licensing will not CHAPTER 1.…”

Point-to-Multipoint Services on Fifth-Generation Mobile Networks

Point-to-multipoint services over mobile networks have always been of interest to several verticals. They are not only limited to the delivery of television, but other applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicular-to-Everything, Public Warning Services (PWS); which can efficiently leverage the capacity that the use of point-of-multipoint provides. In this regard, mobile networks had their first version of a Broadcast/Multicast extension in 3G, known as Multicast/Broadcast Multimedia Services (MBMS). However, this technology was considered limited in technical and economical terms and did never successfully take off. The 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) version, enhanced MBMS (eMBMS), provided the much needed enhancements by listening to the requirements of the broadcast industry. Broadcasters, specially in Europe, see in this technology a potential terrestrial broadcast standard able to provision point-tomultipoint services for both rooftop antennas, pedestrian devices and moving vehicles. Yet, the requirement of New Radio based point-to-multipoint mode was defined in the early stages of 5G, but it was not until Release 17 that this requirement started to get addressed, in the form of 5G Multicast Broadcast Services (5MBS). These point-to-multipoint mobile standards compete against the existing European standard DVB-T2 and the American ATSC 3.0, already deployed commercially. It remains to be seen what will happen to the lower band of the UHF, which is currently allocated to primary broadcast services in ITU region 1 and an agenda topic for the World Radio Congress of 2023. In other regions, part of the band has been allocated to 5G communications.This dissertation covers the state-of-the-art in LTE eMBMS Release 14, also known as Enhanced Television Services (ENTV). ENTV provided a suite of radio and core enhancements that made eMBMS into a viable terrestrial broadcast standard. The latest iteration of this technology is known as LTEbased 5G Broadcast; even though it is not New Radio or 5G Core based. To bridge this gap, research efforts by academia, public and private enterprises evaluated how to provide a 5G-based solution for point-to-multipoint services. The most notable effort in this regard is the Horizon 2020 project 5G-Xcast,
