Abstract

Cognitive radio networking has recently presented itself as a key technology to alleviate the severe spectrum underutilization and provide a solution for spectrum scarcity. Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are foreseen as the future wireless information and communications technologies (ICT) that exploit dynamic spectrum access (DSA) strategies to provide wireless connectivity. The enabling component of CRNs and DSA is the cognitive radio (CR). A CR is a wireless device that senses the surrounding radio environment and opportunistically accesses the unutilized spectrum bands based on the activities of the surrounding primary licensed networks. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the recent and ongoing standardization activities of the different ICT standardization bodies related to CRN and DSA systems. Unlike existing literature, our comprehensive study covers the standardization efforts of the different involved standardization bodies all over the globe. We classify such standards into TV white space standards and coexistence standards. We also discuss the standards developed to incorporate CRN and DSA concepts to existing wireless technologies.

Notes

  1. It is worth noting that some coexistence standards have subgroups that are mainly concerned with operation of TVWS. However, we will discuss such efforts within the discussion of their respective standard—rather than stand alone TVWS standards—for the sake of integrity.

  2. The current specified coverage range is 33 km at 4 W CPE effective isotropically radiated power (EIRP).

  3. In addition, the DySPAN-SC has created the ad hoc on dynamic spectrum access in vehicular environments (DSA-VE) to define the DSA rules for vehicular communications.
