IEEE Standard for Spectrum Sensing Interfaces and Data Structures for Dynamic Spectrum Access and Other Advanced Radio Communication Systems

The IEEE 1900.6 standard defines the information exchange between spectrum sensors and their clients in radio communication systems. The IEEE 1900.6 system model describes the relationship of logical entities and interfaces detailed by subsequent clauses of this standard. The two main categories of spectrum usage models are a long‐term spectrum usage model and a short‐term spectrum usage model. This chapter describes the IEEE 1900.6 reference model and presents an implementation example of the IEEE 1900.6 reference model. The application service access point is used by the control/application to interact with IEEE 1900.6 service. It provides a set of primitives or method for IEEE 1900.6 service access point users to control spectrum sensing. The chapter presents a high‐level state diagram for an IEEE 1900.6 logical entity and describes generic procedure and notations for the logical entity.
