With the current use of mobile devices across the world, with increasing demands on bandwidth resources, solving the congestion in the radio spectrum is becoming a challenging task to spectrum regulators. Radiocommunication systems must share the resources efficiently using different multiplexing techniques using space, frequency or time dimension. Sharing and compatibility studies are required to assess the possibilities for radio systems to coexist in the same or in adjacent frequency bands. SEAMCAT  (www.seamcat.org) is a software tool based on the Monte-Carlo simulation method, which is developed within the frame of European Conference of Postal and Telecommunication administrations (CEPT). This tool permits statistical modelling of different radio interference scenarios for performing sharing and compatibility studies between radio-communications systems in the same or adjacent frequency. SEAMCAT is used by many regulatory agencies across the world for various spectrum sharing and compatibility studies such as between mobile systems and terrestrial broadcasting networks.
