ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel and sophisticated platform for dynamic spectrum access experimentation. The platform comprises, software, hardware and dedicated spectrum. The platform has been designed with experimentation in mind and hence there is a high value placed on the reconfigurable capabilities of the platform. These capabilities are core to providing a wide range of experimentation possibilities and hence the platform does not suggest one particular solution for supporting dynamic spectrum access but facilitates the investigation of multiple solutions. In its broadest sense the platform can therefore be seen as a highly flexible framework that can be populated with information, components, algorithms, methods, logic and intelligence as desired. Currently the platform uses dedicated spectrum that has been set aside by the Irish regulator for software radio experimentation.

Dynamic spectrum access based on interruptible spectrum leasing
Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) based on interruptible spectrum leasing allows secondary users (SUs) to lease a licensed, but idle, spectrum that is owned by primary users (PUs) on condition that the PUs preempt the access to the leased spectrum. This ...
Network coding relayed dynamic spectrum access
