Abstract

In India, there has been an immense growth in the number of telephone and broadband subscribers in the last few years. In next-generation wireless technology that converged voice and data applications will offer rural broadband connectivity for proper boost in Information and Communication Technology(ICT) to take part in all the areas of human life such as education, health, science, financial markets, security and civil protection, media, entertainment, and business development etc. Unused spectrum in the television band (so-called TV white space) has the potential to provide a new spectrum for accessing information and communication services in developing countries. “White spaces” in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) bands that have traditionally been used for television broadcasting but the opening of TV white space (TVWS) bands for cognitive access is one of the first tangible steps to solve the problem of Spectrum scarcity in current wireless networks. One of the major hindrance to providing broadband connectivity in a semi-urban area and rural India is the lack of robust and affordable backhaul. Fiber connectivity in the terms of backhaul is being planned or provided by Government of India would reach only till rural offices named as Gram Panchayat in the Indian rural areas. In this elucidation, I articulate how TV white space can address the challenge of providing broadband connectivity to a billion plus population within India. As villages can form their local Wi-Fi clusters. The problem of connecting the Wi-Fi clusters to the optical fiber points can be addressed using a TV white space-based backhaul (middle-mile) network. I also try to cover the TV White Space technology, the pertinent standards to the TVWS system, the regulatory framework and other relevant points. In the target riverine country like India, TVWS wireless connectivity model can play a vital role to develop rural community. In this paper, my objectives are to Explore, assess and propose TV white space implementation of rural broadband in India to make Digital India.
