20. On-going projects P1900.1 Revision P1900.5.1 P1900.5.2 P1900.6-2011/Cor1 P1900.6b P1900.7 Slide 20 Mar. 2015

21. 1900.1 Revision Slide 21 Title –Standard Definitions and Concepts for Dynamic Spectrum Access: Terminology Relating to Emerging Wireless Networks, System Functionality, and Spectrum Management Networks, System Functionality, and Spectrum Management Scope –This standard provides definitions and explanations of key concepts in the fields of spectrum management, spectrum trading, cognitive radio, dynamic spectrum access, policy based radio systems, software-defined radio, and related advanced radio system technologies. The document goes beyond simple, short definitions by providing amplifying text that explains these terms in the context of the technologies that use them. The document also describes how these technologies interrelate and create new capabilities while at the same time providing mechanisms supportive of new spectrum management paradigms. Purpose –New concepts and technologies are rapidly emerging in the fields of spectrum management, spectrum trading, cognitive radio, dynamic spectrum access, policy based radio systems, software-defined radio, and related advanced radio system technologies. Many of the terms used do not have precise definitions or have multiple definitions. This document facilitates the development of these technologies by clarifying the terminology and how these technologies relate to each other. Mar. 2015

22. 1900.5.1 Slide 22 Title –Standard Policy Language for Dynamic Spectrum Access Systems Scope –This standard defines a vendor-independent policy language for managing the functionality and behavior of dynamic spectrum access networks based on the language requirements defined in IEEE 1900.5, "Standard Policy Language Requirements and System Architectures for Dynamic Spectrum Access Systems”. Purpose –The purpose of this standard is to define a policy language for interoperable, vendor-independent control of Dynamic Spectrum Access functionality and behavior in radio systems and wireless networks. This standard defines the relationship of that policy language to the needs of at least the following constituencies: the regulator, the operator, the user, and the network equipment manufacturer. Mar. 2015

23. 1900.5.2 Slide 23 Title –Standard Method for Modeling Spectrum Consumption Scope –This standard defines a vendor-independent generalized method for modeling spectrum consumption of any type of use of RF spectrum and the attendant computations for arbitrating the compatibility among models. The methods of modeling are chosen to support the development of tractable algorithms for determining the compatibility between models and for performing various spectrum management tasks that operate on a plurality of models. The modeling methods are exclusively focused on capturing spectrum use but are defined in a schema that can be joined with other schemata of business processes of spectrum management or behavioral aspects of spectrum policy. Purpose –The purpose of this standard is to define an analytical framework of necessary modeling constructs which can be used to express the boundaries of spectrum consumption by any transmitting or receiving device. The standard will further document a machine readable data exchange schema for the purpose of transferring these spectrum consumption models (SCM) between automated systems. This standard would serve as a loose coupler for the spectrum management enterprise by providing all spectrum communities of interest a common way to express spectrum consumption. Further, the standard would enable the creation of algorithms that can rapidly evaluate compatibility among SCMs and quickly perform spectrum management tasks such as finding reuse opportunities or optimizing spectrum assignments to maximize spectrum utilization. To achieve this goal, the SCMs must be sufficient in that the algorithms can perform these functions using the models alone without dependence on external databases of system or environmental characteristics.

24. 1900.6 Corrigendum Slide 24 Title –Standard for Spectrum Sensing Interfaces and Data Structures for Dynamic Spectrum Access and other Advanced Radio Communication Systems. - Corrigendum P1900.6-2011/Cor 1 Scope –This corrigendum shall modify the terms and definitions of the 1900.6 specification. Purpose –The purpose of this standard is to define spectrum sensing interfaces and data structures for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) and other advanced radio communications systems that will facilitate interoperability between independently developed devices and thus allow for separate evolution of spectrum sensors and other system functions. Mar. 2015

25. 1900.6b Slide 25 Title –Standard for Spectrum Sensing Interfaces and Data Structures for Dynamic Spectrum Access and other Advanced Radio Communication Systems. Spectrum Database Interfaces Amendment Scope –This amendment adds procedures, protocols and message format specifications for the exchange of sensing related data, control data and configuration data between spectrum sensors and spectrum databases. In addition, it adds specifications for the exchange of sensing related data between the data archive and spectrum databases, and the cognitive engine and spectrum databases. Purpose –The purpose of this standard is to define spectrum sensing interfaces and data structures for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) and other advanced radio communications systems that will facilitate interoperability between independently developed devices and thus allow for separate evolution of spectrum sensors and other system functions. This amendment provides specifications to assist existing spectrum sharing systems based on spectrum databases through the use of IEEE 1900.6 distributed sensing systems. The intention is to enhance the information and capabilities of spectrum databases through the use of spectrum sensing information. Mar. 2015

26. 1900.7 Slide 26 Title –Radio Interface for White Space Dynamic Spectrum Access Radio Systems Supporting Fixed and Mobile Operation Scope –This standard specifies a radio interface including medium access control (MAC) sublayer(s) and physical (PHY) layer(s) of white space dynamic spectrum access radio systems supporting fixed and mobile operation in white space frequency bands, while avoiding causing harmful interference to incumbent users in these frequency bands. The standard provides means to support P1900.4a for white space management and P1900.6 to obtain and exchange sensing related information (spectrum sensing and geolocation information). Purpose –This standard enables the development of cost-effective, multi-vendor white space dynamic spectrum access radio systems capable of interoperable operation in white space frequency bands on a non-interfering basis to incumbent users in these frequency bands. This standard facilitates a variety of applications, including the ones capable to support high mobility, both low-power and high-power, short-, medium, and long-range, and a variety of network topologies. This standard is a baseline standard for a family of other standards that are expected to be developed focusing on particular applications, regulatory domains, etc. Mar. 2015
