The results show spatial abundance of unutilised spectrum within the GSM bands. Therefore, 1800 and rural 1800. There is a weak and negative correlation between rural variance in the duty cycle with average occupancies of 1.67%, 17.76%, and urban 900 MHz, rural-urban 1800. These results clearly show the correlation between rural 900/1800 MHz and urban 900/1800 MHz. But very 900 and 1800 MHz bands. Findings also show that there is very high positive 10.55% and 0.39%, 11.00% and 5.11 in therural, urban and all locations for regulatory commissions should adopt flexible spectrum reuse strategy to relax licensed bands, especially for rural network deploymentsenDuty Cycle, Urban, Rural, GSM band, SpatialSpatial Variability Study of Duty Cycle in GSM 900 and 1800 MHz Bands in Rural and Urban EnvironmentsArticle
