The Institute of Electrical and Electronics says the ambiguity associated with the regulatory definition of radio frequency interference is an obstacle to investment and innovation. The IEEE Committee on Communications Policy advises federal regulators to refine their definition of interference and to make their related deliberations more transparent. The paper targets the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Federal Communications Commission. Current RF rules generally prohibit a new spectrum licensee from creating “harmful interference” affecting an incumbent, and further clarity is necessary to resolve conflicts between incumbents and innovators.
