The committee has focused on the RRS encompassing both SDR and CR.
The committee’s activities include studies on the feasibility of RRS standardization, collecting and defining RRS requirements, identifying gaps where existing standards do not fulfill those requirements and proposing solutions to fill those gaps.
On average, 35 ETSI members attend the RRS meeting (Plenaries and/or WG meetings)

4. TWVS Activities - M2M / IoT
ETSI TC RRS maintains a number of activities related to TVWS comple- menting the Harmonised Standard EN
The Activities are targeting generic applications of TVWS systems, but they are expected to be in particular relevant for M2M / IoT type applications.
ETSI TR : “Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS); Use cases for Operation in White Space Frequency Bands” introduces key Use Cases
Draft ETSI TS : “Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS); System Architecture and High Level Procedures for Coordinated and Uncoordinated Use of TV White Spaces” details the system level design.

5. Example: Coordinated Silencing
TWVS Activities - M2M / IoT
ETSI TR : “Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS); Feasibility study on Radio Frequency (RF) performance for Cognitive Radio Systems operating in UHF TV band White Spaces” provide specific tools including sensing approach, protection through coordination, etc.
ETSI TS : “Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS); System architecture for information exchange between different Geo-location Databases (GLDBs) enabling the operation of White Space Devices (WSDs)” introduce inter-database communication mechanisms.
Example: Coordinated Silencing

6. Public Safety/Security Communications
ETSI TC RRS addresses Synergies between Commercial, Public Safety and Military Systems in the context of a Feasibility Study – following EC Mandate M/512 on Reconfigurable Radio Systems
The Objective is to proceed in 3 Steps:
Development of a Feasibility Study
Development of a Work Program
Implementation of the Work Program
The current focus is on „TR : Recon- figurable Radio Systems (RRS); Feasibility study on inter-domain synergies; Synergies between PPDR/ civil PMR, military and commercial domains“ – with contributions mainly linked to Licensed Shared pectrum based Spectrum Sharing. Further contributions are highly invited & welcome!

7. Conclusions
ETSI TC RRS develops a strong set of standards enabling an efficient usage of TVWS – for M2M/IoT and other systems.
ETSI TC RRS develops a feasibility study on Synergies between Commercial, Public Safety and Military Systems – in alignment to EC Mandate M/512, Objective C.
Contributions are most highly welcome – the next ETSI TC RRS will be held in Mainz, Germany hosted by BNetzA on September 2014.
