Similar to TV bands, the guardband frequencies are not occupied therefore are whitespace that potentially allows additional communication activities. Considering the difference to TV whitespace, we propose independent communication for guardband whitespace. In this paper, we present the Pilotfish system which realizes independent communication and turns guardband whitespace into new communication channels. To address the big challenges of interference mitigation, we employ novel PHY design which includes specially customized FBMC and an Nulled Decoding technique to null the strong background signal in guardbands. We implemented Pilotfish using software radio system. Empirical evaluation results validate the Pilotfish design in both PHY and MAC.
