GSC17-GRSC10-04 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT 5 Challenges Apply the standards to different specifications of terrestrial TV broadcasting and policies in each country Introduce automatic coordination scheme to coexistence several WS devices in the same band (e.g. WS database and coexistence manager approach) –In Japan, coordination of white space usage is currently done by hand (licencing published by MIC, and coordination activity by a new organization)

GSC17-GRSC10-04 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT 6 Next Steps / Actions Continue to contribute to establishing / improving standard documents in several organizations (e.g. ITU, IEEE) Continue to research to develop coexisting methods of several WS devices in the same bands

GSC17-GRSC10-04 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT Cognitive radio technology Cognitive radio –is a radio or system that senses, and is aware of, its operational environment and can dynamically and autonomously adjust its radio operating parameters accordingly by collaborating wireless and wired networks Two types of approaches –Heterogeneous type cognitive radio –White space type cognitive radio Cognitive wireless cloud is the concept to bring the two approaches into a real environment to improve spectrum usage efficiency 8 System A System B System C Freq. White space type cognitive radio Heterogeneous type cognitive radio System A System B System C Freq. By sensing frequency bands that systems have been allocated on and time slots, users secure adequate bandwidth by selecting existing systems. By sensing vacant frequency band and time slot, users secure adequate bandwidth by bundling vacant freq. bands.
