However, DSA in China requires a quantitative analysis of the current spectrum utilization in frequency, temporal and spatial domains. In order to free the precious spectrum, spectrum regulation organizations must have a clear, detailed, up-to-date understanding of where, how and by whom spectrum is currently being used--such data is essential to sound policy decisions in the context of cognitive radio （CR）. In this paper, a concurrent spectrum occupancy measurement in south China was conducted to evaluate the practical spectrum occupancy with a digital wideband receiver covering from 20 MHz to 3 GHz.
