Dynamic Spectrum Assignment and Access Scenarios, System Architecture, Functional Architecture and Procedures for IEEE P1900.4 Management System

Implementing dynamic spectrum assignment and access technologies in heterogeneous wireless networks may lead to considerable improvement in spectrum usage. For this purpose, management system shall be added on top of existing heterogeneous wireless system. IEEE P1900.4 working group has been developing such management system. In this paper, we propose different scenarios for IEEE P1900.4 dynamic spectrum assignment and access use cases. We propose enhancements to IEEE P1900.4 system architecture. Also, we propose functional architecture for IEEE P1900.4 management system. Finally, we propose generic procedures to implement proposed scenarios using proposed system architecture.
