AbstractExperimental licenses have been awarded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for more than thirty years as a means to promote research and innovation. Indeed, in the past 30 years (since 1987) more than 20,000 licenses have been granted under the Experimental Radio Service (ERS) of the FCC. In this work, we present a comprehensive analysis of the details pertaining to the assignment of these licenses during the past ten years (2007-20016). For this purpose, utilizing publicly available information in the website of the Office of Engineering and Technology of the FCC, we have built a single repository (database) for all the technical and non-technical details of these licenses. This has permitted us to differentiate among the existing types of Experimental Licenses and, subsequently, analyze the multiple details of these licenses. We pay particular attention to the evolution, over time, of various parameters such as number and duration of licenses, frequency of assignment, processing times, operational parameters (mainly authorized frequencies and transmission power levels), purpose of operation, among others. The proposed poster summarizes the methods and findings of our work. We include a brief introduction to the research framework that was implemented. We expose the main characteristics of the conventional experimental licenses and the Special Temporary Authorizations (STAs) in addition to the main results regarding the general processing time for any type of license.
