Protocol to Access White-Space Databases: Use Cases and Requirements
RFC 6953, “Protocol to Access White-Space Databases: Use Cases and Requirements”, is an Informational document published in May 2013 by A. Mancuso, S. Probasco, B. Patil. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Portions of the radio spectrum that are assigned to a particular use but are unused or unoccupied at specific locations and times are defined as "white space". The concept of allowing additional transmissions (which may or may not be licensed) in white space is a technique to "unlock" existing spectrum for new use. This document includes the problem statement for the development of a protocol to access a database of white-space information followed by use cases and requirements for that protocol. Finally, requirements associated with the protocol are presented.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
