• To improve spectrum allocation accuracy and reduce interference for IoT deployments.

Main Methods:

• Integrating high-resolution geospatial data into spectrum management.
• Incorporating real-time environmental data for dynamic adjustments.
• Developing a novel framework for spectrum allocation and interference mitigation.

Main Results:

• Demonstrated significant gains in spectrum sharing efficiency.
• Showcased an increase in new spectrum entrants from 77% to 140%.
• Highlighted the impact of complex geospatial information and less conservative interference conditions on efficiency.

Conclusions:

• The proposed framework effectively enhances spectrum allocation accuracy and interference mitigation.
• Advanced spectrum sharing techniques are crucial for optimizing spectrum utilization in future IoT networks.
• The integration of detailed data improves access opportunities for IoT deployments.
