Integration of intelligent tasking subsystem in spectrum environment awareness applications

Effectively managing spectrum for an ever increasing wireless world requires an advanced agile and flexible regulatory environment that uses an extensive network of sensing devices to ensure the orderly and secure evolution of new advanced networks and technologies that work free from harmful interference. The Spectrum Environment Awareness (SEA) prototype system currently being developed at the Communications Research Centre (CRC) Canada is a system for the next generation spectrum management, aiming to help government regulators to have better control of how spectrum is being used by different services at different times and locations across Canada, and to ensure better use of spectrum and effective response to spectrum inquiries. In this paper, the SEA system functional architecture is introduced. As one of the key components within the SEA system, the integration of the intelligent tasking subsystem in SEA applications is described in detail.
