description With the rapid growth of multimedia applications over the wireless Internet, the demand for radio spectral resources has increased significantly. Referring to frequency spectrum allocations in Malaysia, major parts of spectrum have been assigned for government and commercial use. Despite the spectrum scarcity in meeting the demands for multimedia services, it was found from previous studies that most of the spectrum is actually not being utilised efficiently.
