rhe allocation of tlic frequency band in each eoimliy is iioim-tlly |>eifbrmed tbi each ticqiiciicy channel ibnncd bj' dividing [lie rrtqueiicy i>aiid according to any ircqitcncy division sehcnic. When a nuiiibei is given for each frequency channel in (his case, channels huving Ihc s^nie number become ihe i^ame channels having banda iimlched wilh each olhur, and ch^innels h-iving diffei'ciil rmmbcis become diilbrent channels bitving bands not overlapped with eacli other. Tlie eJiicEihilion formula of ihc piiitcclion i"([Eio described in Noii-PaleiU I /riei'atnce 2 is basetl on snch Ersstmijilioii. f00071
However, in a case of the sceondaiy usage around y boundary of a country or a region, a ladio sigiml transnsitted 0[i a frequency eJianncI pcrniiEted for Ihe secondary usage may give the inlcriercnce lo Utc radii> signal reeeived on another frequency cliannct in another coujiiry. Further, Ihcse fitqtiency channels may not be Ihe combination of the IrcqEicney channels oblaini^d hy the division according to one division scheme. Tlie similar problem may occur not only in Ihc TV white space, but also, Jbr CKampIc, in the nexibli^ allocation of the frequency channel lu a snia'i ccti when the small cell sccondaiily uses a fieqnency band proLceled tor a macm cell. In an cxisling control syslem foi' Iransnaission (>o:vcr, these cases arc not suflicienlly consideitd. [OOOSl
