Research Methodology
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed. Evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted. Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
Target Audience
This report is written for a wide population of researches, technical and sales staff involved in the developing of the CR technologies. It is recommended for both service providers and vendors that are working with related technologies.
Brief
This report addresses novel communications technologies based on cognitive radio (CR) used in combination with White Spaces communications. Various aspects and variations of such technologies and markets are analyzed. This report reflects advances that telecommunications industry has made recently in this area; it continues the Practel project initiated in 2010-2011.
White Spaces (WS) technologies and markets are the recent addition to the growing telecommunications segment, which contributes to efficient use of frequency spectrum. The WS communications attracts the attention of such companies as Microsoft and Google; for example, Microsoft commissioned research that suggests white-space applications may generate $3.9 billion to $7.3 billion in economic value each year.
The report concentrates on the development of White Spaces communications as one of the first technologies to utilize CR. It shows that the combination of spectrum awareness together with the selection of White Spaces frequencies windows creates a new modern multi-applications industry. The report analyzes specifics of White Spaces communications in such environments and reflects such communications benefits and issues. The White Spaces communications applications and market are just evolving; one of such applications - M2M - is detailed in the report.
The report provides a detailed up-to-date analysis of:
- CR development, standardization, benefits and issues
- CR industry and market
- WS technologies development
- WS standardization and regulatory
- WS industry
- Applications of CR and WS in M2M - Weightless Protocol.
The report is written for a wide audience of researches, engineers and managers that are involved in the development and utilization of cognitive radios for commercial markets.
