We propose a new primary protection method for Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA), in which a secondary system uses a frequency band assigned to a primary system. Following a DSA implementation plan in Japan, we take care of a practical scenario where a primary system’s transmission station (PTS) moves along a predefined course or area, and a corresponding primary reception station (PRS) keeps its antenna boresight facing towards the moving PTS. For accurate interference calculation from the secondary to the primary systems in this scenario, the proposed method takes the movement of the PTS into account and predicts a range of angle variation of the PRS’s antenna boresight based on received signal powers from the PTS to the PRS. We conducted computer simulations in three different practical scenarios to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method can increase the number of available secondary base stations (SBSs) by up to 1.93 times compared to a conventional method.
