A Monitoring Network for Spectrum Governance Applications

Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) is an exciting new technology, which introduced a paradigm shift in spectrum access. As a result it also changes the role of the regulator. On one hand the scarce radio spectrum should be used in an optimal way, so that the society is best served. On the other hand interference between users and networks should be avoided. For that reason rules have to be defined for spectrum use. This topic is called spectrum governance. For evaluation and to check whether devices obey the rules, a monitoring network is needed. In this paper, we propose to use a fleet of mobile monitoring vehicles for this purpose.
