Abstract

The explosive growth in the density of wirelessly connected devices and their traffic load is creating interference and gradually leading to a severe spectrum shortage. Approaches to address this challenge include dynamic spectrum allocation (cognitive radio) and proactive interference mitigation strategies requiring coordination between heterogeneous networking technologies. This paper describes a modular and scalable methodology and architecture, called Connectivity Brokerage, that enables proactive co-existence and collaboration between diverse technologies, making joint optimization of the scarce spectrum resources possible.
