Abstract

We argue for a policy-based approach to increase spectrum availability. We summarize a new language for expressing policies that allow opportunistic spectrum access. A Policy Reasoner that reasons about these policies can be used with cognitive radios to guarantee policy-specified behaviors while allowing spectrum sharing. We evaluated the reasoner in a demonstration. We describe the policies used in that demonstration and the results of the evaluation.

XG Policy Control

The vision of radically increased spectrum usage through XG-enabled radios requires regulatory bodies and spectrum holders to be convinced that the radios will follow rules and policies. This project will develop an expressive and extensible policy language with executable semantics, for describing policies that meet the needs of a wide variety of spectrum regulation bodies. We will also develop efficient reasoning algorithms to reason about policy compliance during radio operation.
