Abstract
Recent and emerging wireless standards come with increased flexibility, even within a single wireless technology. Controlling the flexibility of devices, within networks and across heterogeneous technologies is necessary to maintain the required service for the user and application. A high-level overview of the evolution towards more flexibility is given zooming in on the WLAN (IEE802.11) and cellular (3GPEP-LTE) standards.
The ISM and TV bands are considered as first relevant cases where flexible spectrum sharing across technologies is realized. In these cases, cooperation across standards is crucial. This cooperation often requires flexibility across standards and increased complexity and intelligence. This drives the need for Software-Defined Radio, Opportunistic Spectrum Access and finally the Cognitive Radio. In this context relevant standardization and coordination initiatives are discussed.
