© 2018 IEEE. Spectrum Access System (SAS) is a three-tier spectrum sharing framework proposed for 3.5 GHz by Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in the United States. General Authorized Access (GAA) users in SAS do not have an assigned channel and can opportunistically access the Priority Access Licensee (PAL) channel satisfying the interference constraint proposed by FCC. Coexistence among GAA users in SAS is a key problem to be solved to enhance the system capacity to meet the increasing traffic demand. In this work, we propose a method for fair and efficient spectrum utilisation for GAA users. To achieve the fairness among GAA users equal interference budget allocation scheme is proposed for each set of GAA users that can hear each other. Our proposed method decide the optimal channel switching schedule that maximises the average capacity of GAA users while satisfying the interference constraint at PAL protection area. This work jointly considers the fairness between GAA users and the average capacity maximisation of GAA network. Simulation result justifies the performance of our proposed method for average capacity maximisation of GAA users and fairness between GAA users by comparing with existing works.
