Background: The Presidential Memorandum on Unleashing the Wireless Broadband Revolution, released on June 28, 2010, directed the federal agencies to work together and with the non-federal community, including the academic, commercial, and public safety sectors, to create and implement a plan that ‘‘facilitates research, development, PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 experimentation, and testing by researchers to explore innovative spectrum-sharing technologies.’’ The WSRD has held three workshops that addressed the challenge defined in that Presidential Memorandum. During WSRD’s first Workshop held at Boulder, CO, in July, 2011, the participants indicated that a national-level testing environment is critical for validating spectrum sharing technology under realistic conditions; they also emphasized the value of a spectrum sharing testing environment for a diversity of users. At a second workshop, held in Berkeley, CA, in January, 2012, key concepts and criteria were established for spectrum sharing test and evaluation capabilities. The third workshop, held in Boulder, CO. in July 2012, identified realistic projects whose implementation will significantly support the plan to meet the Presidential Memorandum’s goals. This fourth workshop will gather diverse, knowledgeable, and forward thinking stakeholders to advise us on the important next step, the economic and policy research that is needed to promote an efficient and shared spectrum environment.
