Host: John Huggins
The explosive growth in the density of wirelessly-connected devices and their traffic load is increasing the interference level and gradually leading to severe spectrum shortage. Traditional approaches to address this challenge, such as spectrum regulation, improvement in spectral efficiency and reducing cell sizes, are running out of steam or are facing operational roadblocks. Fortunately, a number of approaches have emerged from the research community that may help to address the looming spectrum crisis. All of these approaches have a common set of properties: they require coordination and cooperation between heterogeneous networking technologies. This can be addressed by the introduction of a general framework that enables diverse wireless technologies to exchange information and to collaborate in a seamless fashion. This presentation will give a brief overview of Cognitive Networking and Software-Defined Radio (SDR) concepts and then present the Connectivity Brokerage basic concepts and framework.
