Abstract:
Portions of the radio spectrum that are assigned to a particular use
but are unused or unoccupied at specific locations and times are
defined as "white space." The concept of allowing additional
transmissions (which may or may not be licensed) in white space is a
technique to "unlock" existing spectrum for new use. An obvious
requirement is that these additional transmissions do not interfere
with the assigned use of the spectrum. One approach to using white
space spectrum at a given time and location is to verify spectrum
availability with a database that manages spectrum sharing and
provides spectrum-availability information. The IETF has undertaken
to develop a Protocol to Access Spectrum Database [1] for such a
management database.
This document describes a number of possible use cases of white space
spectrum and technology as well as a set of requirements for the
database query protocol. The concept of white spaces is described
along with the problems that need to be addressed to enable white
space spectrum for additional uses without causing interference to
currently assigned use. Use of white space is enabled by querying a
database that stores information about spectrum availability at any
given location and time.
