Spectrum Sharing Policy for a Cooperative Brokering System

As use of the radio frequency spectrum continues to grow, risk of interference to passive RF systems becomes greater. A cooperative spectral broker is proposed to dynamically coordinate frequency allocations amongst devices, offering protection for incumbents without compromising their performance and providing opportunistic access to frequencies outside original assignments and allocations. Policy measures necessary to support systems of this nature are suggested, and a case study for identifying bands and applications that could benefit from such a system and policy is discussed.
