IEEE 1900.5.2-2017

This standard defines a generalized method for modeling spectrum consumption of any type of use of radio frequency (RF) spectrum and the attendant computations for arbitrating the compatibility among models. The methods of modeling are chosen to support the development of tractable algorithms for determining the compatibility between models and for performing various spectrum management tasks that operate on a plurality of models. The modeling methods are exclusively focused on capturing spectrum use to support the determination of compatibility as opposed to being a data standard that seeks to support a particular business process of spectrum management. However, such externally defined spectrum management data standards can beneficially leverage the spectrum consumption modeling defined in this standard. This standard defines the data requirement for spectrum consumption models (SCMs). The data elements and their meaning are the critical parts of the modeling and may be expressed by any data schema if content and context are preserved.
