What is it about?
Starting from basic facts about radio signal propagation, this paper develops metrics that address all three major aspects of spectrum use: (RF) power, time and frequency occupation.

Why is it important?
Sharing anything requires knowing what and how much you share. Freely available radio spectrum such as used by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is shared on an ad-hoc basis and this risks excessive use by some at the expense of other users. Rules for spectrum sharing that put limits on usage can avoid such situations. Rules require metrics, measurable parameters that can be employed in technical standards and in radio regulations.
Perspectives
I have been interested in spectrum sharing problems since I joined the work on IEEE 802.11 and Wi-Fi in the early 1990's. The discussions we had tended to be in terms of generalities and intuition - because there was no theoretical basis. This paper is an attempt to define metrics that help to make spectrum discussions more factual.
