Highlight of Current Activities

• Feasibility studies of standardization of SDR and
  CR
• SDR focus on nodes as mobile devices and base
  stations,
• CR focus on functional architecture
• Liaisons with relevant regulatory bodies.
• Definition issues (SDR, CR) settled aligning
  with ITU-R work.
• Substantial interest to start to standardize SDR
  and CR.

3
Strategic Direction

• Initiate SDR standardization.
• Initiate CR standardization.
• Further studies in the area of CR, as benefits,
  spectrum trading mechanisms and consequences,
  data base communication.

4
Challenges

• Market is moving very fast in the area of CR
  standards are urgently needed in eg the area of
  UHF TV-bands.
• There is an urgent need for a solid scientific
  basis regarding the benefits and effects of CR.
• As well as more knowledge on concrete market
  interest of spectrum trading.

5
Next Steps/Actions

• Initiate standardization of SDR and CR.
• Studies of essential areas of the effects of CR.
