Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 36 / Thursday, February 25, 2021 / Proposed Rules 14. The operational changes and effects of implementing the LongleyRice model for determining white space device channel availability range from technical and modelling considerations to specific model implementation factors to database and device matters.
The Commission asks that commenters comprehensively examine all aspects of the rule changes that would be needed and the effect they would have if it were to modify the white space device rules to specify use of the Longley-Rice model rather than the current contour-based method of protecting television stations and other protected entities in the TV
bands.
