ETSI RRS

Overall Scope and Objectives

The ETSI Technical Committee (TC) on Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS) has the responsibility for standardization activities related to Reconfigurable Radio Systems encompassing system solutions related to Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Cognitive Radio (CR), to collect and define the related Reconfigurable Radio Systems requirements from relevant stakeholders and to identify gaps, where existing ETSI standards do not fulfil the requirements, and suggest further standardization activities to fill those gaps.

Technical Relevance to QoSMOS

In the beginning of 2012, ETSI RRS was dealing with several active work items which are of interest for QoSMOS:

Study Item and Use Cases

- Technical Reports

• TR 103 067 “Feasibility study on for Radio Frequency (RF) performances for Cognitive Radio Systems operating in UHF TV band WS”
• TR 101 571 “Feasibility study for coexistence between CRS operating in TV WS band and RF Cable Networks services”
• TR 102 947 “Use Cases for building and exploitation of Radio Environment Maps for intra-operator scenarios”
• TR 102 684 “Feasibility Study on Control Channels for Cognitive Radio Systems ”
• TR 102 944 “Use cases for baseband interfaces for unified radio applications of mobile device”
• TR 102 967 “Use Cases for Dynamic Declaration of Conformity”
• TR 102 970 “TR Use Cases for spectrum and network usage among Public Safety, Commercial or Military”
• TR 102 945 “RRS Glossary and Terms”

 - Technical Specifications

• TS 102 946  “System requirements for Operation in UHF TV Band White Spaces”
• TS 102 968  “System requirements for Reconfigurable Radio Systems operating in IMT-Bands and GSM-Bands for intra-operator scenarios”
• TS 102 969 “Radio Reconfiguration related Requirements for Mobile Devices”

The following figure shows the roadmap of ETS RRSfor the adoption of standards for  Cognitive Radio Systems in UHF TV White Space band.

Several contributions/inputs related to QoSMOS were provided by QoSMOS partners to ETSI RRS working groups. TR 102907 and TS 102946 were led by  members of QoSMOS.

QoSMOS has good opportunities to contribute and to drive the work items on system requirements for operation in white space frequency bands.  Furthermore, QoSMOS has opportunities to continue contributing to the feasibility study on for Radio Frequency (RF) performances for Cognitive Radio Systems operating in UHF TV band WS as depicted in the figure below.
