-_Wireless_Spectrum_Sharing.
Overview: Enforcement needs for
wireless spectrum sharing extends well
beyond just the enforcement of usage
rights (i.e. interference protection). A
complete enforcement regime (1) should
explicitly recognize that enforcement
requirements are bi-lateral (i.e., apply to
the primary user as well as the
secondary user), and (2) should also
include the collective action rights—
which encompass management rights
(determining which users get to transmit
when), exclusion rights (who gets to
transmit at all) and alienation rights
(who gets to sell the resource). To
support a dynamic spectrum sharing
environment, consistent and sustainable
technology mechanisms are needed to
monitor, detect, evaluate or adjudicate,
classify, inform, and enforce compliance
of the enforcement regime. Enforcement
frameworks can rely on central
architectures based on data clouds or
device level distributed architectures, or
a combination of both. This may entail
adopting new standards or developing
automated enforcement mechanisms
and compliance certification methods
for next-generation technologies to
support the enforcement regime. Other
issues to be considered include
enforcement-related privacy and
security issues, and the economic
tradeoffs in ex ante and ex post
enforcement mechanisms. The main
goals of this workshop are to:
• Outline the wireless spectrum
sharing enforcement needs, scenarios
and issues for the short-term and longterm, from multiple perspectives.
• Discuss the architectural, economic,
regulatory and business frameworks that
can deliver enforcement solutions.
• Identify innovative tools,
techniques and database requirements
for additional research.
• Develop ideas for advanced R&D to
help inform WSRD recommendations to
the OSTP.
Background: This workshop series
stems from the Presidential
memorandum issued on June 14, 2013,
Expanding America’s Leadership in
Wireless Innovation and has focused on
ways to make more wireless spectrum
available by encouraging shared access
by commercial and Federal users. As
with any sharing environment, such as
the way aircraft share airspace or
vehicles share the roads, underlying
enforcement principles for spectrum
sharing are critical. Industry and
government innovators agree that
enforcement is a necessary component
