Abstract
The radio spectrum is essential for our daily communications, enabling everything from phone calls to Wi-Fi connections. However, it is not always fully occupied; there are "spectrum holes," that is, frequencies unused at specific times and locations. This article explores what these gaps are in Wi-Fi networks and how they can be identified. By using software-defined radio receivers, it is possible to measure the power levels in Wi-Fi channels to detect idle periods. Identifying these spectrum holes opens the door to a more efficient use of the available spectrum.
