IEEE begins standard to optimize radio/spectrum usage

(Top News, 27 Feb 2007)

The IEEE P1900.4 Working Group has started to create a standard to optimize radio usage and improve the overall capacity and quality of service of wireless systems in a multiple radio access technologies environment.

Three primary use cases were identified: dynamic spectrum allocation, dynamic spectrum access, and distributed radio resource usage optimization. These scenarios are intended to improve overall wireless system capacity and quality of service in a multiple radio access environment. The system architecture and protocols selected will help optimize radio resource usage by exploiting information exchanged between a network and mobile terminals. This capability for radio resource optimization extends to the support of multiple, simultaneous links and dynamic spectrum access.
