Abstract

Experimental licenses have been awarded by the Federal Communications Commission for more than thirty years as a means to promote research and innovation. In this work, we present a comprehensive analysis of the details pertaining to the assignment of these licenses during the past ten years. For this purpose, utilizing publicly available information in the Commission's website, we have built a general database. This has permitted us to differentiate among the existing types of Experimental Licenses and, subsequently, analyze the multiple technical and non-technical details of these licenses. We pay particular attention to the evolution, over time, of various parameters such as duration of licenses, frequency of assignment, processing times, operational parameters, applications, among others. We conclude this work by delving into license details that permit us to map their application to efforts toward the development of next-generation cellular technologies.
