Wireless Spectrum Sharing: Enforcement Frameworks, Technology, 
and R&D Workshop

AGENCY: The National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and 
Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This workshop will focus on spectrum sharing enforcement 
issues and will provide a forum for information exchange and the 
identification of relevant research and development opportunities.

DATES: May 5, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wendy Wigen at 703-292-4873 or 
[email protected]. Individuals who use a telecommunications device for 
the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 
1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through 
Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Registration: The event has a limited capacity and registration 
must be received in advance to be admitted to the facility. No onsite 
registration will be available. Registration will end on April 25, 2016 
or when we reach capacity. However, the event will be webcast and the 
video will be available after the event. Further information, including 
registration and links to the webcast are available at: https://www.nitrd.gov/nitrdgroups/index.php?title=WSRD_Workshop_VIII_-_Wireless_Spectrum_Sharing.
    Overview: Enforcement needs for wireless spectrum sharing extends 
well beyond just the enforcement of usage rights (i.e. interference 
protection). A complete enforcement regime (1) should explicitly 
recognize that enforcement requirements are bi-lateral (i.e., apply to 
the primary user as well as the secondary user), and (2) should also 
include the collective action rights--which encompass management rights 
(determining which users get to transmit when), exclusion rights (who 
gets to transmit at all) and alienation rights (who gets to sell the 
resource). To support a dynamic spectrum sharing environment, 
consistent and sustainable technology mechanisms are needed to monitor, 
detect, evaluate or adjudicate, classify, inform, and enforce 
compliance of the enforcement regime. Enforcement frameworks can rely 
on central architectures based on data clouds or device level 
distributed architectures, or a combination of both. This may entail 
adopting new standards or developing automated enforcement mechanisms 
and compliance certification methods for next-generation technologies 
to support the enforcement regime. Other issues to be considered 
include enforcement-related privacy and security issues, and the 
economic tradeoffs in ex ante and ex post enforcement mechanisms. The 
main goals of this workshop are to:
     Outline the wireless spectrum sharing enforcement needs, 
scenarios and issues for the short-term and long-term, from multiple 
perspectives.
     Discuss the architectural, economic, regulatory and 
business frameworks that can deliver enforcement solutions.
     Identify innovative tools, techniques and database 
requirements for additional research.
     Develop ideas for advanced R&D to help inform WSRD 
recommendations to the OSTP.
    Background: This workshop series stems from the Presidential 
memorandum issued on June 14, 2013, Expanding America's Leadership in 
Wireless Innovation and has focused on ways to make more wireless 
spectrum available by encouraging shared access by commercial and 
Federal users. As with any sharing environment, such as the way 
aircraft share airspace or vehicles share the roads, underlying 
enforcement principles for spectrum sharing are critical. Industry and 
government innovators agree that enforcement is a necessary component 
for any dynamic spectrum sharing environment to be meaningful and 
effective.
