Figure shows the average spectrum occupancy in the VHF / UHF bands
It is found that less than 14% of the spectrum is effectively utilized – 86% of the
spectrum is not used or scarcely used
Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) allows opportunistic usage of the spectrum and co-
existence with the incumbents: thus improving the spectrum utilization through the use
of these Whitespaces

Cognitive M2M
Machine to Machine Communications Systems may face many challenges
• Licensed AND license-exempt spectrum (has to tolerate interference)
• In general low cost
• Demanding environment – fixed, portable AND mobile devices that may suffer from wide link
margins requirements due to shadowing and fading
• Dense deployments – Dense deployments that require advanced technologies such as
• Ad hoc networks and mesh
• Co-existence
• Security
• High throughput video monitoring and low throughput
meter monitoring and control
• Use of Cognitive radio techniques makes a lot
of sense for M2M applications.
• Cognitive M2M communications will sense the
environment and identify the best strategy to
transport the information from source to the
destination – (licensed, license-exempt, which
channel, DSSS, FSK, OFDM etc.)
• Key challenge – Need to meet the low cost EEE
and complexity requirements 802

IEEE 802.22 – Frame Structure
• 802.22 supports Time Division
Duplex (TDD) frame structure
• Super-frame: 160 ms,
Frame: 10 ms
• Each frame consists of downstream
(DS) sub-frame, upstream (US) sub-
frame, and the Co-existence
Beacon Protocol (CBP) burst
• Lengths of DS and US sub-frames
can be adjusted.
• Self-coexistence Window (SCW):
BS commands subscribers to
send out CBPs for 802.22
• Self- coexistence – CBP bursts
contain information about the
backup channel sets, sensing
times, SCW scheduling,
contention information
• terrestrial geo-location and
• whitespace device identification
Co-existence Beacon Protocol (CBP)
burst used for 802.22 self co-existence as required by the regulatory
and terrestrial geo-location domain rules.
