Collection of Spectrum Data

Study Project

Study project to standardized data record format so that data from multiple spectrum studies can be analyzed to understand spectrum utilization, with an emphasis on gathering data from diverse instrumentation.

PROJECT STATUS

• Study approved by SC7 on April 29, 2014.

• Jason Coder of NIST to chair the effort.

5



• Focused on localized spectrum monitoring (i.e., room or building).

• Investigating how having a standardized data collection format would impact collection, sharing, and mining.

• Determining the parameters to be collected.

6



• NIST’s Information Technology Laboratory and NTIA’s Institute for Telecommunication Science developing a large-scale spectrum monitoring system.− For use in making spectrum allocation decisions.

• IEEE 1900.6: “Spectrum Sensing Interfaces and Data Structures for DSA and Other Advanced Radio Comm. Systems.”− Specifies spectrum sensing requirements to support IEEE 802.22.− Defines information exchange between spectrum sensors and their clients− Logical interface and data structure

• In June, 2014 the ITU Working Party 1C established a Correspondence Group on the development of a harmonized format for the collection of IQ data− Complete an inventory of formats currently being used− Propose a harmonized format− Work to be completed in 2016

Scope of C63 SC7 - Spectrum Etiquette

Subcommittee 7 develops standards addressing spectrum etiquettes, wireless coexistence and related standards to provide new or amended measurement techniques, protocols or methods and associated instrumentation and operational constraints supporting more efficient spectrum utilization, including dynamic spectrum access.

Revision of C63.27TITLE

American National Standardon

Evaluation of Wireless Coexistence

PROJECT STATUS

• Working group has been having telecons approximately monthly.

• Draft is being prepared.

• Since the May 2014 meeting the draft has moved from revision 0.13 to 0.30.

10


SCOPE FOR C63.27

This standard provides an evaluation procedure and supporting test methods for wireless coexistence and evaluation of key performance indicators (KPI). The standard will provide evaluation procedures, test methods and other guidance necessary for performing the evaluation.

C63.17Study Project

Study project to explore:

• The need to revise test methods to support DECT ULE device.

• To examine whether additional guidance is needed for testing laboratories for testing DECT ULE devices.

• To seek quantitative data on the baseline reliability of the UPCS band etiquette and the potential impact of various proposed changes to the

etiquette or the supporting test methods.

PROJECT STATUS

• Study approved by SC7 on April 29, 2014.
