    This paper shows accuracy of using azimuth-variable path-loss fitting in white-space (WS) boundary-estimation. We perform experiments to evaluate this method, and demonstrate that the required number of sensors can be significantly reduced. We have proposed a WS boundary-estimation framework that utilizes sensors to not only obtain spectrum sensing data, but also to estimate the boundaries of the incumbent radio system (IRS) coverage. The framework utilizes the transmitter position information and pathloss fitting. The pathloss fitting describes the IRS coverage by approximating the well-known pathloss prediction formula from the received signal power data, which is measured using sensors, and sensor-transmitter separation distances. To enhance its accuracy, we have further proposed a pathloss-fitting method that employs azimuth variables to reflect the azimuth dependency of the IRS coverage, including the antenna directivity of the transmitter and propagation characteristics.
