scope:

The present document gives recommendations related to the regulatory issues addressed in feasibility studies carried out by the Working Groups 1-4 of TC-RRS since January 2008. The Working Groups are responsible for following study areas:

• WG1: RRS System Aspects

• WG2: Reconfigurable Radio Equipment Architecture

• WG3: Functional Architecture and Cognitive Pilot Channel (in Cognitive Radio Network Management)

• WG4: RRS Public Safety

As a whole these studies have covered radio system technologies more generally known as Software Defined Radio and Cognitive Radio.

The present document also addresses the outcome of previous work such as that carried out by TCAM as a result of the Report drafted by its ad-hoc group on Software Defined Radios [i.7], in particular during TCAM meetings 17, 18 and 19.
