Towards the CEPT Regulation for WSDs |
|
| |
|
 |
The CEPT activities in the field of cognitive radio systems have resulted in setting up a number of principles and defining fundamental requirements for the operation of TV white space devices. Among them are the geo-location database control and the master-slave concept. These are believed to form the ground for the CEPT regulation of TV white space devices. However, some open questions still exist.
