5. Why do we need QoSMOS ?
To develop a framework to improve utilisation of radio spectrum, consistent with co-existence with other services and opening up of the mobile broadband value chain,
A cognitive approach to align with the strategies of the regulators
A pan-European effort with a range of partners is needed to bring all the pieces together and move them close to market
22 March 2017, 5

6. Objectives
The main objective is to provide a platform for efficient radio access to future networks
Under this are two S & T objectives
Cognitive Wireless Access Provision [measurable criteria]
Platform aspects
Intelligence aspects
Network Support Provision [measurable criteria]
And two non-S & T objectives
Use-case development [guidelines on marketing]
Preparation of regulatory policies [response of regulators]

7. Concept
A significant novelty is a two-step spectrum management process
An upper cognitive manager that manages the spectrum portfolio
A lower cognitive manager that allocates resource

10. Milestones are EAB meetings
MS1 – month 2 (should have been Feb 2010)
Workshop, ‘Setting the scene’
Introduction to the project, planning, use-case review
MS2 – month 11 (November 2010)
Workshop, ‘Spectrum portfolio and scenarios’
review and ratify initial scenarios, architectures, models and frameworks
MS3 – month 19 (July 2011) – with Industry
Workshop, ‘Regulation impact and impact on regulation’
Disseminate, review and ratify Consolidated Scenarios, Architecture description of cognitive and spectrum manager functions and test-bed design

11. Milestones are EAB meetings
MS4 – month 30 (June 2012)
Workshop, ‘Opportunities and chances, new models for new actors’
Review results of Simulations and Models, demonstrations of cognitive functions and transceiver platform
MS5 – month 36 (December 2012) – with Industry
Workshop, ‘Way forward – the QoSMOS legacy’
Final demonstration, downstream final designs
The output from each of the 5 milestones will be a restricted report
