abstract = "5G promises a lot, but with very little improvement in the spectral efficiency of the radio interface. Much of its link capacity gain is through increases in accessed spectrum by bringing in new frequency bands that have very poor propagation characteristics, noting that 5G mm-Wave links might only propagate a few hundred meters and will be badly affected by any obstacle. Moreover, each mm-Wave base station will require a very significant backhaul capacity. These aspects combined severely limit the possibility of realizing 5G link capabilities, such as a peak rate of 20 Gbps downlink, in rural scenarios. This paper introduces some of the work that the 5GRIT project is undertaking to help address such issues by bringing more spectrum in to the equation at lower frequencies, unlocked through database-driven spectrum sharing. It discusses the use cases that are being considered, the deployment scenarios, and projections on performance for those scenarios.",
