Current spectrum congestion limits capacity through poor receiver sensitivity and interference handling, profoundly impacting systems employing advanced 5G and beyond technologies. Spectrum sharing, a technique favoured by regulators to increase spectrum utilisation, potentially compounds this problem, highlighting the need for receivers with enhanced interference tolerance.  

The use of Successive Interference Cancellation for Dynamic Spectrum Access (SINATRA) is an emerging technique to enhance spectrum utilisation, with a world-leading team from Bristol, Sheffield and Strathclyde Universities embarking on a proof-of-concept evaluation.  

The consortium will use the National 6G Radio Systems Facility, to undertake empirical evaluations as well as providing data for new work on Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) client admission control.
