Towards Collaborative and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing via Interpretation of Spectrum Access Policies
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper describes some of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to develop collaborative spectrum-sharing systems. The importance of these challenges stems from the assumption that rules for spectrum sharing can change after the deployment of radio networks and that the whole system must be able to adapt to them. To address such a requirement, we used a policy-based approach in which transmissions are controlled by a policy interpreter system, and the policies can be modified during system operation. Our primary goal was to develop a prototype of such a system. In this paper, we outline the implementation of policy interpretation, automatic generation of transmission opportunities in case a request for transmission is denied by the policy reasoner, and the generation of rendezvous channels for the synchronization of otherwise asynchronously running software-defined radios.
