3. Contribution Highlights
January 19
Spectrum Agile Radio
( wng-spectrum-agile-radios.ppt)
Broad overview of spectrum agile radio
Covers applications of agile radios, the FCC policy modernization and standardization
In some measurements, only about 10% of the allocated spectrum is in use at any given time
Spectrum access and efficiency becoming a critical public policy issue
Spectrum-agile radios operate in radio spectrum originally licensed to other radio systems but that is currently vacant
Licensed radio systems are also referred to as incumbent or primary radio systems, with TV broadcast and radars being examples

4. Contribution Highlights
January 19
Specific Knowledge for Next Generation Wireless Networks
( wng-site-specific-knowledge-next-generation-wireless networks.ppt)
Highlights the use of site specific knowledge to enhance the prediction of traffic for a wireless network
Outlines the challenges for site specific adoption
Matching MAC/PHY/QoS/applications to the propagation environment, instead of being rigid/iteratively implemented
Discusses how current techniques can be used to effectively perform blind throughput predictions for a new environment using site specific map
Software uses site-specific algorithms on a digital map to determine coverage areas and optimal equipment positions/configurations within the environment; digitizes finalized infrastructure map and pushes to clients
