Submission doc.:IEEE /0257r6 June 2007 Kyutae Lim, GEDC, Georgia Tech Slide 2 Abstract The presentation describes the overall system architecture and interfaces between the Spectrum Manager, MAC, Spectrum Sensing Function, Database and Geo-location Database based on IEEE P working draft. It is updated based on the conference call of June 18, –In slide 3 : Incumbent database and Regulation and operation are now connected to BS via upper layer –In slide 3 : Bring Geo-location into the BS entity as ﾊ Winston requested. –Added slide 9 : Defining when sensing occurred.

Channel Management - Channel management commands - Controls the selection of operating and backup channels based on information collected from its sensing function, from its associated CPEs, and from Incumbent and Geolocation databases.
