Description / Abstract:
This standard specifies radio technology independent methods for network-based coexistence among dissimilar or independently operated networks of unlicensed devices and dissimilar unlicensed devices. The standard is defined for geo-location capable devices operating under general authorization such as TV band White Spaces, the 5 GHz license-exempt bands and the general authorized access the 3.5 GHz bands.
Purpose
The purpose of the standard is to enable the family of IEEE 802 Wireless Standards to most effectively use, under general authorization, frequency bands such as TV band White Spaces, the 5 GHz license-exempt frequency bands and the general authorized access in the 3.5 GHz frequency bands by providing standard network-based coexistence methods among dissimilar or independently operated unlicensed devices and dissimilar unlicensed devices with geo-location capability. This standard addresses coexistence for IEEE 802 networks and devices and will also be useful for non IEEE 802 networks and devices.
