We identify the conditions for harmonious coexistence between WSD and three different DTV services: Advanced Television Systems Committee, Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial, and Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial. We find that a WSD can operate within all three regions provided that (1) its radiated power is smaller than 13 dBm, (2) it keeps a minimum distance of 50 m from a DTV receiver, (3) it operates in the adjacent channels except the closest one.
