IEEE 1900.1 Working Group on Terminology and Concepts for Next Generation Radio Systems and Spectrum Management
Purpose
New concepts and technologies are rapidly emerging in the fields of spectrum management, policy defined radio, adaptive radio, software defined radio, reconfigurable radio and networks and related technologies. Many of the terms used do not have precise definitions or have multiple definitions. The IEEE 1900.1 Working Group will develop a standard which will facilitate the development of these technologies by clarifying the terminology and how these technologies relate to each other.
Scope of the IEEE 1900.1 Standard
This standard will provide technically precise definitions and explanations of key concepts in the fields of spectrum management, policy defined radio, adaptive radio, software defined radio, and related technologies. The document will go beyond simple, short definitions by providing amplifying text that explains these technologies from different perspectives. The document will also describe how these technologies interrelate and can be use in a wide variety of communication service environments to achieve new capabilities while at the same time providing mechanisms supportive of new spectrum management paradigms and spectrum access.
