TV White Space Based Wireless Broadband Internet Connectivity: A Case Study With Implementation Details and Performance Analysis

Even at the current age of sophisticated communication systems, remote rural communities with low user density throughout the world lack broadband Internet service of good quality. Traditional ways fall short to meet the demand of those regions due to technological or geographical challenges as well...
