Spectrum sharing can be achieved by enabling multiple wireless systems to coexist in a single spectrum band. In this dissertation, we discuss the following coexistence problems in spectrum bands that have recently been raising notable research interest: 5G and Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) at 27.5-28.35 GHz (28 GHz); 5G and Fixed Service (FS) at 71-76 GHz (70 GHz); vehicular communications and Wi-Fi at 5.85-5.925 GHz (5.9 GHz); and mobile broadband communications and radar at 3.55-3.7 GHz (3.5 GHz). The results presented in each of the aforementioned parts show comprehensively that the coexistence methods help achieve spectrum sharing in each of the bands, and therefore contribute to achieve appreciable increase of bandwidth efficiency. The proposed techniques can contribute to making spectrum sharing a viable solution for the ever evolving capacity demands in the wireless communications landscape.ETDIn CopyrightCoexistenceSpectrum SharingmmW28 GHz70 GHz5GFixed Satellite ServiceFixed Service3.5 GHzPulsed RadarOFDMLTEWi-Fi5.9 GHzDSRCIEEE 802.11acDissertation
