Heuristic estimation of network capacity and spectrum requirement

Explosive increasing demands for various wireless services have led to a higher spectrum requirement. However, considering the scarcity of spectrum resources, it is more important for the regulatory authority concerned to estimate the future spectrum requirements accurately. Recently, a few estimation models for calculating the spectrum requirement have been presented. In the process of forecasting the future spectrum requirement, it is necessary to estimate network capacity that is needed to transmit packets under a quality of service condition. Hence, our study focuses on designing an efficient estimation model for network capacity and spectrum requirements to increase the applicability in spectrum policy.
