SDR Forum Creates Group to Address White Space Communications Test Guidelines and Requirements

11/24/2008

		Press Release

The SDR Forum, a non-profit international industry association dedicated to promoting the success of next generation radio technology, has announced today that they have created a new group to address test guidelines and requirements for secondary spectrum access of unused TV spectrum, also known as white space. The group, “Test Guidelines and Requirements for Secondary Spectrum Access of Unused TV Spectrum,” will develop a set of use cases and test requirements for the use of cognitive radio techniques to allow unlicensed secondary spectrum access for unused TV bands.

Often in the news since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) unanimous approval of the use of vacant portions of the broadcast spectrum by unlicensed devices on November 4, 2008, the topic of white space has been a source of debate, considering it has implications for many types of wireless broadband innovative technology, including software defined and cognitive radio.
