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

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]

Concept

An upper cognitivemanager that manages the spectrumportfolio

A lower cognitivemanager that allocates resource

A significant novelty is a two-stepspectrum management process

Workplan

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

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
