About the series
The National Science Foundation is sponsoring a workshop on Spectrum Measurement Infrastructure, to be held at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois on April 6th and 7th, 2016. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together a cadre of top tier academic, government and industry researchers focused on the area of spectrum occupancy observation, and encourage these attendees to utilize their collective knowledge in the science of spectrum measurement to chart out a roadmap for scaling spectrum measurement efforts to a countrywide level. An important component of this effort will focus on the means by which large-scale spectrum usage information is captured, maintained, curated, analyzed and disseminated to various stakeholders. The product of the workshop will be a report that documents the high-level roadmap for a national spectrum measurement infrastructure, the architectural considerations, technical challenges involved in realizing such a vision and identify key areas of research needed to make this vision a reality.
